Lateral Shuffle Crunch

1. Starting Position:
- Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and your knees slightly bent.
- Keep your arms relaxed by your sides.

2. Movement Breakdown:
- Begin by shifting your weight to your right foot.
- Push off with your right foot and shuffle to the left, landing softly on your left foot.
- As you land, bring your right knee up towards your chest and simultaneously crunch your upper body down towards that knee with your hands reaching towards your shin or ankle.

3. Repeat the Shuffle:
- After the crunch, quickly return to the standing position.
- Now shift your weight to your left foot and push off to shuffle to the right.
- Bring your left knee up towards your chest while crunching your upper body down again.

4. Repetitions:
- Continue alternating sides, performing the lateral shuffle and crunch for a total of 10-15 repetitions on each side, or for a set time, such as 30 seconds to 1 minute.

5. Breathing:
- Inhale as you prepare to shuffle, and exhale as you perform the crunch.

6. Tips for Beginners:
- Start at a slow pace to get comfortable with the movement.
- Focus on maintaining balance and control during each shuffle.
- As you get stronger, increase the speed and intensity of the exercise.

7. Cool Down:
- After completing your sets, take a moment to stretch your legs and core to prevent soreness.
