Happy Pharrell Williams

WORKS BUTT, THIGHS, ABS; CARDIO

Do alternating reverse lunges until Pharrell sings, "'Cause I'm happy." Face partner; jump and high-five. Drop to a plank facing each other and clap as he says, "Clap along if you feel..." Every time he says "happy," jump and high-five; go back to plank claps. Verses: reverse lunges. When they say, "Happy, happy, happy, happy," do high-five jumps for a finale. 3:52
