Why Work Out Together?
Working out with a partner offers motivation, accountability, and a deepening of your connection. Whether you are seasoned athletes, regulars at the gym, or just starting your fitness journey, a couples’ routine adds an element of teamwork that makes exercise more enjoyable. Plus, with the 4’x8’ Folding Exercise Mat, you have a comfortable, supportive surface for your workout routine.
Sweetheart Workout Routine
This Valentine’s Day workout is designed to build strength, improve coordination, and keep the energy flowing between you and your partner. Perform each exercise for 60 seconds, followed by 20 seconds of rest, and complete three rounds for a full-body burn. Turn on your favorite music or a sweetheart playlist for extra motivation.
1. Partner Plank High-Fives
- Set up your 4’x8’ Folding Exercise Mats with the short ends facing each other.
- Get into a high plank position facing each other on your respective mats.
- Maintain a strong core and lift one hand to high-five your partner.
- Alternate hands while keeping good form.
- If you want to make this move more challenging, turn your plank into a push up.
- We love this exercise because it strengthens your core and upper body while enhancing teamwork.
2. Sit-Up Pass
- Sit facing each other, knees bent, with a medicine ball or small weight.
- As one partner completes a sit-up, pass the ball or weight to the other partner.
- Repeat for 60 seconds.
- We love this exercise because it engages your abs and improves coordination.
3. Partner Squat and Press
- Stand back-to-back with your partner.
- One partner holds a small weight or medicine ball.
- Lower into a squat simultaneously while holding the weight at chest level.
- As you both stand up, pass the weight to your partner in a twisting movement, switching sides each time.
- Repeat for the duration of the set.
- We love this exercise because it strengthens the legs and core while enhancing coordination.
4. Partner-Assisted Leg Raises
- One partner lies on the mat while the other stands at their head.
- The lying partner lifts their legs, and the standing partner gently pushes them back down.
- Try not to let your feet touch the mat before lifting again.
- We love this exercise because it strengthens the lower abs and builds core stability.
5. Side-by-Side Bicycle Crunches
- Lie down side by side on your mats.
- Perform bicycle crunches while maintaining the same rhythm.
- Try to “mirror” each other’s movements.
- You can count off to keep the rhythm.
- We love this exercise because it engages the obliques and enhances coordination.
Cool Down Together
After crushing your couples’ workout, take a few minutes to stretch together. Turn on a special song for the duration of your cool down. Sit on your mats facing each other and perform gentle stretches, mirroring each other’s moves. This will help your muscles recover and give you a moment to reconnect.
A workout together on the 4’x8’ Folding Exercise Mats is a fantastic way to celebrate Valentine’s Day. Not only do you get a great sweat session, but you also strengthen your bond in the process. So grab your sweetheart, pick your favorite mat color, and make this Valentine's the healthiest one yet. Happy Valentine’s Day from We Sell Mats!
