   Step 2: Try the shuffle

   Face the right side of the street.
   
   Using a lateral shuffle, quickly step, then bring your feet together, and step again.
   
   Repeat this on the left side as you face the left side of the street, making sure your ankles never cross.
   
   Then face forward and take one skip forward.
   
   Continue the shuffle, shuffle, skip routine for 20 minutes, and then walk at your regular pace for 10 minutes to cool down., Sometimes one of the easiest and most fulfilling ways to work out and de-stress is to head out on the trail for thirty minutes.
   
   Warm up by walking at your regular pace for 10 minutes.
   
   Pick up your speed for the next 15 minutes so that talking becomes a bit more difficult to do while walking.
   
   Cool down with another 5 minutes at your normal walking pace.
