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.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
