5 fun couple exercises that challenge your core
Every workout is more fun with a friend - and you can push each other. Try these five new exercises with a friend!
1. Tug of war
Stand on the plank. Grab a rubber band and pull it between you. Change hands after 30 seconds. Expect your core to work hard!
2. Push-up on a ball
Stand on the plank. One of you puts one hand on a medicine ball.
The person with the hand on the ball does a push-up.Then roll the ball over to the other person who does the same. Do every other repetition with the right side and every other with the left.
3. Buddy sit-up
One of you stands up with slightly bent legs, the other jumps up and wraps their legs around the waist of the person standing up.
Lean back and do a sit-up. If it feels scary, the person standing up can hold the person doing the sit-up in their hands, preferably with their arms crossed.
4. Pair plank
One person stands in a plank - and the other stands in a plank on the person at the bottom. This is a fun exercise that is very like-friendly on Instagram!
5. Double pistol squat
Stand up and hold each other with the opposite hand. Lift one leg, go down in a single leg squat, or pistol squat as it is also called.
Push yourself back up by pushing your hip forward and keeping all the power in your heel. This exercise requires the strength of both.
