Fitness Challenge With A Friend

Sometimes, working out with a friend is much more fun and appealing than thinking about working out alone. Being active with a buddy is proven to make us more motivated and accountable to not back on a workout. We have come up with a fitness challenge, that is more than just your average walk or trip to the gym. Try this circuit of heart pumping activities and you will find out why working out with a friend can be way more fun than going at it solo.

**Do this circuit 3 times (or more if you really want to work up a sweat!)

1. Jump squats

2. 10 push-ups

3. Medicine ball sit-ups
(have one person get into the sit-up position while the other stands at their feet. The person doing the sit-up needs to take a light medicine ball or heavy pillow and throw it to the person standing while in the process of sitting up. The standing person then throws it back to their friend when on their way back down to the laying position)

4. Sprint to a landmark and back

5. 10 Burpees

6. 60 second plank

**If you want to add a little excitement to this routine; you can make this circuit into a friendly competition. Set the timer on your phone to see who can complete the circuit the fastest....but be careful not to go too fast, to prevent injury. Good luck!!!
