My personal favorite on this list is Baekhyun’s latest track Candy. The choreography is as sweet as the title itself and is a great option if you’re looking to work out with a friend or partner. Candy doesn’t have many complex leg movements, but it’s a song that has body rolling which will require you to work your core to execute it.
