The sideways shuffle. Who says you have to walk forward on a treadmill? Try side stepping instead to work your hips, inner and outer thighs, calves, abs, and obliques! Alexandra Allred, certified fitness instructor and member of the first U.S. women's bobsled team, recommends the sideway shuffle to challenge your balance, strength — and your mind. It's easy to do, too! With your right hand on the rail in front of you and your left hand on the left railing, turn out to the left so that the left railing is now in front of your body.

"At the very instant you step to the left, turn sideways," Allred says. "Just as you would trot/shuffle on the flat ground, you make the same shuffle motion — clicking foot to foot, moving sideways — but its a whole new ball game."

Just remember to do an equal amount of time on your left side as you do your right side, and start at a slow pace, she says. As you get better at the move, you can bump up the speed and the resistance for a challenge.
