For most people Valentine’s Day is an excuse to hook-up and eat chocolate. But this Mississauga personal trainer shows you how to do an intense V-Day workout with your partner to heat things up!
For most people Valentine’s Day is an excuse to hook-up and eat chocolate. Hey, sounds good to me too, but surely we can be more creative than that! Why not mix things up this V-Day with a fun workout you can do in the comfort of your home with your significant other? Why not do it different this year, and try this workout.
Today I am going to demo the concept of partner training. Partner training is essentially a workout that involves performing joint exercises with at least one other person or more. There are a ton of benefits to partner training, including:
1.) Social Support and Accountability
2.) No Equipment Needed
3.) Provides a Ton of Variety
4.) Breeds Competition and Drives Better Results
5.) It’s FUN!
Partner training definitely heats things up in our boot camps from time to time. People get pumped for this, nobody wants to be that person who couldn’t complete the circuit, you hear all kinds of screams and grunts, it get’s really intense.
