6 Workouts For You and Your Significant Other

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.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
