Fresh off of the New Year, some people might be still continuously hitting up the gym, and some (like me) have begun slacking. Me and my boyfriend have been trying to get back into the habit of going, so we go together for encouragement. How else are we going to get our spring break bods for the beach? Here are some fun workouts for you and your significant other to try as well.
1. Hook Squats
You and your SO put your backs towards each other, link arms, and squat while walking in the pattern of a circle for 20 seconds. You cannot complete the motion without the other, so it's good motivation!
2. Alternating Box Jumps
Place a box in between each of you and take turns jumping on and off of the box. Knowing the other will be going right after you is good motivation to keep going.
3. Biceps and Triceps Towel Challenge
Hold a towel by your chest with your palms facing forward and your SO holding the other end of the towel. Keep your knees slightly bent. Complete a bicep curl while your partner creates resistance, and while you come down you will create resistance that will make them complete a tricep extension.
4. Partner Push Up
While doing a push up, have your SO stand over you and place their hands on your upper back. They will create resistance while you push up to help your core.
5. Swimming Stretch
Lie on your stomach and face your partner, your arms should be able to overlap. Pretend like you are swimming while your hands are on top of theirs. Keep your shoulders away from your ears, and do this for five long breaths.
6. Criss-Cross Crunches
Lie on your back and link your legs in between your partners'. You will each hold each others' legs in place to prevent them from moving.
Happy exercising and may the odds be ever in your favor.
