If you need some extra motivation to get your workout completed this holiday season, grab a partner and get it done together. This will help hold you both accountable and it will be more fun than just going to the gym by yourself. Give some of these exercises a try for a great, quick workout for both people involved!
- Resistance Band See-Saw
- Each partner holds one end of the band, keeping the band taught as each partner alternately squats
- Bring the arms overhead on the up phase of the squat and bring the hands between the legs during the down phase of the squat
- Medicine Ball Slams and Burpees
- Both partners move simultaneously
- Cue one partner to perform a medicine ball slam as the other partner performs a burpee
- Once complete, the partner passes the medicine ball to the other partner so he or she can perform the medicine ball slam while the other performs a burpee
- Continue alternating the exercises between the partners
- Plank Tire Runs
- Position one partner into a plank with the feet shoulder-distance apart
- The other person will jog laterally, over and in-between the other partner’s legs
- The person jogging should continue going back and forth without stopping
- Switch positions and repeat.
- Stability Ball Squat Walk
- Position the partners to face each other and have each person place his or her right hand onto the stability ball and hold the ball at shoulder height
- This requires contracting the core and stabilizing the arm
- Bend the knees and lower into a squat position while both partners squat walk laterally in one direction
- Switch to holding the ball in the left hand and squat-walk laterally in the other direction.
- Side Shuffle Medicine Ball Toss
- While standing 4 to 5 feet apart and facing each other, partners shuffle laterally while tossing a medicine ball back and forth to each other at chest height
