One of the keys to a successful exercise program is staying motivated to exercise. A great way to keep motivated is to involve a partner in your workouts. But an even better way to really engage a workout partner is to do partner exercises where you both interact. You can do these things at a gym, or even outside when the weather is nice.You get to be a little competitive with your exercise partner, and that helps you both stay motivated to really give it your all. When you exercise alone no one pushes you except you. And some of us, quite honestly (myself included) get rather lazy from time to time when there’s no one around to see us. We make excuses and artificial limits to our exercise that wouldn’t exist with another person there.
Some examples of great partner drills are short races, medicine ball tosses, partner bodyweight exercises, and timed drills.
There are over 25 partner exercises you can check out in the Premium Members section at FitDaily.
