Think cardio-backed exercises like burpees, mountain climbers and plank variations static as well as shuffling.
Lastly, if youre looking to really create a leaner yet toned physique, consider adding core training to the routine to strengthen and lengthen your muscles. It may seem tedious, but small core exercises such as wheelbarrow walking, ankle reaches, and bicycle crunch will help to activate all the muscles including your back.
