The Exercises for the Workout

Exercise No 1: Medicine-Ball Over-and-Under
Time: 0:00-1:00

Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, facing partner from about 1 foot away. Hold the ball at chest level. Squat down and pass the ball to partner through your legs. Stand up and extend arms overhead; take the ball. Repeat for 30 seconds, then switch so partner passes first.
Exercise No 2: Tandem Squat
Minute: 1:00-2:00
Muscles targeted: hips, glutes, quads

Muscles targeted: back, glutes, hamstrings
Sit back-to-back: legs out, shoulder blades drawn together, abs engaged and spine tall. Clasp hands. Press into heels and lift hips, making a diagonal line with your body; rest upper back on partner’s shoulders. Hold for 5 seconds, lower. Switch. Keep alternating.
