Warm-up Exercises

Before jumping right into the workout, it’s important to warm up your muscles to prevent any injuries. Here are some warm-up exercises that you can do together:.

1. Plank High-Five

Start in a push-up position facing your partner, with your arms straight and your palms on the ground. Both of you should lift your right hand and high-five each other. Repeat with your left hand. Do this for 30 seconds.

2. Partner Sit-ups

Face each other and sit back-to-back with your knees bent and your feet on the ground. Interlock your arms and then simultaneously sit up and give each other a high-five. Lower yourself back down and repeat for 30 seconds.

3. Leg Swings

Stand facing each other and hold hands. Swing your outside leg up towards your partner and then swing it back down past your other leg. Do this for 30 seconds, then switch legs.

The Main Workout

Now that you’ve warmed up, it’s time to tackle the main workout. Each exercise should be done for 30 seconds, with a 10-second rest in between. Repeat the whole circuit three times.

Sit on the ground facing your partner, with your knees bent. Hold a medicine ball with both hands and lean back slightly. Twist your torso to the right and hand the medicine ball to your partner.
