- Baekhyun Candy
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-IYuVy_lqkg
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.
Even if you’re not looking to lose weight, Candy is a great track to just dance and have a great time with your friends or yourself!

- Big Bang Bang Bang Bang
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uxqjsXjSKPk
And this is where I nearly threw in my towel, I’m at my limit when trying to dance to Big Bang’s Bang Bang Bang. Like many of Big Bang’s songs, Bang Bang Bang is a techno song that provides your legs a challenge. Prepare to end your workout with a “bang” with this song and get ready to work your legs to high heavens with numerous quick stomping movements. Be sure to give it your all and hit every move for maximum impact as well!
