5 Fun Partner Workouts!

‍Grab your partner, a mat, a medicine ball, and find some stairs!

‍

1. Run Stairs! 

‍

Take turns going up and down a flight of stairs or run together! Set a timer or set a goal ahead of time to keep yourselves accountable! Want to make this even more challenging? Add in these exercises below in between your runs or at the end!

‍

2. Pushups With a High Five! 

‍

Line up next to your partner. Start with your hands right underneath your shoulders. Bend at the elbow and lower your chest to the ground. Pause for a moment and push yourself back up. Then reach over with outside arm and high five your partner! Perform 3-4 sets, anywhere from 5-10 reps.

‍

3. Jump Squats! 

‍

Facing your partner, tighten your core as you slowly squat down in unison, and then simultaneously jump upward. Land softly on your toes and transition right into another squat. Feet should be shoulder width apart or slightly wider, keeping your knees in line with your toes. Perform 3-4 sets, 15-20 reps.

‍

4. Med Ball Sit-Up Toss! 

‍

With knees bent and feet flat on the floor, each partner starts by lying on their back. One partner holds the medicine ball extended overhead. Simultaneously perform a sit-up and toss the ball to each other at the top of the movement, then lower back to the floor and repeat! Perform 3-4 sets, 15-20 ball tosses each.

‍

5. Partner Hamstring Stretch

‍

Do this move after your workout! Sit facing your partner with the soles of your shoes touching. Hold hands and take turns gently pulling your partner towards you, aiding them in getting a stretch behind the legs. Perform 3-4 sets, 30 sec each hold, per partner.
