This workout consists of nine one-minute rounds of exercise. There’s a one minute break after all 9-minute rounds are done. Then repeat the circuit. If you have time and the will power, go for three rounds!
Row Machine – Go at a steady pace for the first round, using it as a warm-up. For the second round, go all out!
Push-ups with high-fives in between – Face each other, engage the energy, and challenge your buddy to keep up with you!
Back-to-back torso rotation with medicine ball – Grab a 20 or 30 pound med ball, stand back-to-back, and pass it to each other.
1- Thrusters (2- Bent Over Rows) – Choose a weight that challenges you. For the bent over row, the weight should be about 10 to 20 pounds more than the weight used for the thrusters.
Switch (Buddy 1 does bent over rows and Buddy 2 does thrusters.)
Wheelbarrow Walks
Switch (Buddy 1 is now the wheelbarrow)
Squats – Just some good ol’ fashioned bodyweight squats.
High-Five Burpees – At the top of each burpee, double high-five your buddy!
Remember that most people gain an average of five pounds over the holiday season. Fight with some good activity, and most of all, FUN!
