How to do Shuffles for Warm-up

#shuffle #warm-up #lateral Shuffles add side-to-side movement to your warm-up. This exercise should be a standard warm-up movement for athletes before practice and competition. Often times in the gym, we just focus on forward and backward movement. Learning how to maneuver and change direction from a sideways position is a critical part of a well-rounded training program. Begin in a standing position with feet shoulder-width apart and elbows bent at 90 degrees so you're in a standard athletic stance. Your body should be facing perpendicular to the direction you plan to move. Step out another 6-12 inches with the foot closest the direction you plan to go (fore foot) as you push off your trail foot. Once the fore foot is planted on the ground, pull your trail foot back to shoulder-width and repeat at a fast pace. Avoid bobbing up and down as you move - keep your body elevation on a steady plane. Go for a distance of 10-20 yards and then change direction to head back the direction you came from. Repeat this for 3-5 sets. Be sure to maintain a neutral posture and avoid bending forward or hunching your shoulder. Shuffles are a staple in dynamic warm-ups for athletes. ****Check out the Just Exercise Videos website: https://justexercisevideos.com/
