Technique
■ Simply shuttle to the right a few metres
with quick, short steps, then reach downtowards your right ankle with your left
hand, push off and repeat in the opposite
direction. Keep moving right-left-right-left(and vice versa), and make sure your feet
don’t cross over as you go.
Do 10 reps.(^6)
200M LATERAL SHUTTLES WITH TOUCHDOWN
A WINNER ’CAUSE: It’s a cardio move that also targets the outsides of your upper thighs and bottom
Technique
■ Start in high plank, with your body in one
straight line from head to heel, or do these
on your knees to make things a little easier.
■ Place your hands directly under your
chest and slightly wider than shoulder-
width apart. Be sure to keep your core and
glutes strong and your eye-line looking
slightly ahead of you.
■ Lower your chest and body until you’re
hovering just off the ground, push back up
to the start position and do 4 x mountain
climbers, alternately bringing your knees
towards your chest. If you do your push-up
on your knees, that’s okay, just come to
your toes for the mountain climbers.
Do 5 rounds. (1 push-up and 4 mountain
climbers equals 1 round.)
