Partner workouts can be a fun and effective way to boost your relationship while also improving your fitness together.
Partner Squats: Stand facing each other, holding hands for balance if needed. Simultaneously squat down and then back up, keeping your backs straight and chests up.
Plank High Fives: Get into a plank position facing each other, with enough space between you to extend your arms. Alternate high-fiving each other with one hand while maintaining a strong plank position.
Wheelbarrow Push-Ups: One partner gets into a push-up position while the other holds their ankles, standing behind them. As the partner in the push-up position lowers their chest towards the ground, the other partner walks forward, extending their arms.
Medicine Ball Pass: Sit facing each other with your knees bent and feet flat on the ground. Hold a medicine ball and twist your torso to one side, passing the ball to your partner. Your partner twists in the opposite direction to receive the ball and then passes it back.
Leg Throws: Lie on your back facing each other with your legs extended. One partner lifts their legs towards the other partner, who catches them and lowers them towards the ground, engaging their core. Then, reverse the motion, with the other partner lifting their legs.
Partner Yoga Poses: Try partner yoga poses like partner tree pose, partner boat pose, or partner forward fold. These poses require communication, trust, and teamwork, which can strengthen your bond.
Partner Resistance Band Exercises: Use resistance bands to perform exercises like bicep curls, rows, or chest presses together. You can provide resistance to each other's movements, making the exercises more challenging.
