Master the Lateral Shuffle

Lateral Shuffle

Lateral Shuffle or Side Shuffle. This is a simple exercise but really useful to stay in shape and get speed. The lateral shuffle is considered a dynamic exercise to warm up your muscles and raise your heart rate. It works your hip flexors, hips, thighs, lower back, and entire legs.

It is recommended to do a stretching routine after this workout exercise. Your calves, hamstrings, quads, hip flexors, and glutes will need it.

There are several variations of the lateral shuffle as you can see on the video below.
