10 partnered exercises that will get you a part in the new Baywatch

The gym is shut, you can't do anything other than eat, sleep, work and repeat. Well, might I suggest something? Working out with someone else in your household! I find that working out with my partner is something that allows us both to get healthy and also allows us to work together so we can get the best results. Yay Teamwork! Don't worry if you haven't got someone to carry you through these hard times I will try and suggest an alternative that will get you looking like Zac Efron all on your own (check the modification on each section). It doesn't take two to make a thing go right. Pfftt.

So here we go! 10 home workout exercise that you can do with or without a partner. All exercises will have pictures alongside them. Please excuse the pictures for obvious reasons my personal photographer couldn't turn up ... what can you do ...

10. Partner Plank Claps - 10 Reps - Core exercise

Starting in the plank position facing your partner. You will then clap hands in front one hand at a time. You can try two but I feel like it will just end in tears. This is a core exercise that will get the abs warm before you start your main workout.

Single: Like a cat, tie a piece of string to the wall and simply try and brush it with your hand whilst in a plank position. You can also try high-hiving at the wall if you just feel like being an ultimate bro.

9. Side Plank Claps - 10 reps - Core Exercise.

Very similar to the first exercise but different. Get into a side plank position and go back to back. With this one, you get two high fives. Who's excited? Starting with high-fiving by reaching down and meeting under both of you at the bottom and then reach up and you will meet at the top. Bam another high five!

Single: Sadly you get no high fives on this one. It's exactly the same without a partner. Side plank position, reach down under yourself then bring the arm up towards the sky.

8. Partner Glute Warm-up. - 10 reps - Glutes.

Lay with your back on the floor opposite your partner. With bent knees, place your feet on your partner's feet. Slowly lift your bum off the floor whilst keeping your knee's bent and hold for a couple of seconds. Then slowly lower back down.

Single: This again can be done exactly the same without a partner. Just use a hard surface e.g. A wall. Make sure it's hard enough to hold your body weight. I don't want any emails suggesting I made you put your foot through the living room wall -_-.

7. Alternative Lunges - 10 reps - Quads/ Glutes

Who wants to go dancing? Well, we about to get our tango on. No not your fake tan... Alternative lunges. Start by standing face to face, hold hands if you like. Then alternate going backwards and forwards with one person doing a forward lunge and the other person doing a backwards lunge.

Single: This is an easy one for you guys. Just simple lunges whilst stationary or they can be done going up and down the garden.

6. Medicine Ball Throws/ Passes - 10 reps - Core.

Sit side to side with your partner take your feet off the ground. Keep the arms extended and twist with the ball, touching the ball on the ground on your outside and then twisting and throwing/ passing the ball to your partner on the inside.

Single: Just do Russian twists. So the same as above but just don't throw it otherwise you will have to go get it. We don't have a medicine ball but any kinda of weight works, just don't throw it!

5. Banded High Knees - 5 reps or until fatigue - Cardio intensive exercise

Please consider each others strengths when doing this one, no need to drag each other around like rag dolls.

Put a resistance band around your partner, they will then go into a high knee run with you as a form of resistance pulling back on the band. The resisting person will sit in a squat position until they can no longer hold it or roughly 30 seconds.

Single: Just can do high knees for a certain distance. If you have a resistance parachute this can be used for a single person. Or you can tie the resistance band to a stable wall.

4. Wheelbarrow. - 3 Laps - Arms

Put a ball or any object between your partner's leg and simply do a wheelbarrow from A to B. To make it more fun if you drop the ball you have to start from the beginning again.

Single: I would suggest maybe not trying to do this on your own could end with an ouchie. Just try some push-ups.

P.S I am obviously staring into your soul with this first photo.

3. Abandoned Hollow Body. -10 reps - Core

Laying on your back, knees at a 90-degree angle with feet off the floor. Holding one resistance band between you with your hands above your chest whilst keeping tension on the band. Taking alternative reps, lower the legs down towards the ground but do not touch the floor - once legs are low, slowly bring them back up to the 90-degree angle.

Single: Tie the resistance band to a solid object that won't move or hold the band as shown in the image and do the same exercise. If you don't have a resistance band just have arms down by your side but do the same leg movement.

2. Tennis Ball Throw - Fun Game at the end/ Score system - Hand-eye coordination, Vision, reaction and agility.

You will need two tennis balls or small objects that can be dropped. Please don't break Grandma's favourite vase. Stand opposite your partner with one ball each and throw and catch the ball with one hand. Don't stop until someone drops the ball. I added the Donkey system. So every time someone drops the ball they get a letter. First-person that spells out Donkey is a donkey and overall the loser.

Single: throw the ball against the wall. Not too hard don't want it bouncing back and knocking you out.

1. Walking, Running and cycling - Time dependant/ Distance dependant - Cardio

During our time in isolation Boris and other governments around the world have allowed us a little rec time. Thanks, mate. All sarcasm aside it is a great way to get in some cardio exercise and get some fresh air. Please keep an eye on your governments latest rules as I do not want anyone getting fines or anything more serious!

So there you have it! 10 Partner exercise that can get you looking fit as the ROCK. These exercises are not a whole plan, they are just something you can incorporate into a workout with a partner. I hope they are helpful. I must again remind everyone to keep safe during the isolation period and that exercise is important for mental health and overall health. Keep up on my Instagram for more exercise as I will be trying to work out every day. Thanks for all the support guys. Until next time bro's.
