Partner Workout: Wife Carrying Championships?

Yesterday, I wrote about the Role of a Workout Partner and today I wanted to share with you a way in which two people can workout together regardless of what you have for equipment.

The two of you may be at different fitness levels or weigh one hundreds pound apart, but that shouldn't stop you from partnering up if you're in it for the same reasons.

Here's what I mean.

If you're stuck for a partner workout I always say you can't go wrong with body weight movements. This type of workout puts everyone on an even playing field and forces each person to use their own body as the resistance for the exercises.

You can choose to get your heart rate pumping with moves like jumping jacks, mountain climbers, or squat thrusts, or you can crank up the intensity and work on 1-legged squats, push-ups, inverted rows, and all sorts of other fun body weight movements.

The time flies by and before you know it you're sweating and your heart is pumping from a great workout.

I also thought I'd share a fun video that takes body weight workouts to a whole new level… it's called "wife-carrying," and it's actually an international sport…

It's pretty outrageous, and they literally set up an obstacle course that couples have to compete in. Check it out at:
