It's hard to keep up with regular exercise, but it becomes much easier if you do it with a friend. Doing things in pairs, especially exercises, provides you with the motivation need to persevere, and the process itself becomes easier. If you and a friend want to get in shape, try the following 6 buddy exercises that’ll make working out that much more fun!

1. Booty Bridge

Like

Sit on the floor with your feet facing each other.
Lift your feet into the air and bring them both together.
Tighten your abdominal muscles and slowly lift your pelvis up at the same time without separating your feet.
Lower your hips pelvis back down slowly.
Repeat the exercise for 20-30 seconds in 3-4 sets.

2. Wheelbarrow push-ups

Like

To perform this exercise, buddy 1 should be lying with their hands and toes on the floor, while buddy 2 stands behind your buddy 1’s legs, with their legs apart slightly apart.
Buddy 2 behind should grab buddy 1’s feet a little above the ankle and lift them up like a wheelbarrow.
Now both of you should bend down to the floor simultaneously - one doing push-ups and the other doing squats.
Perform the exercise slowly and at a steady pace, repeating about 10 times depending on your fitness level in 3-4 sets.

3. Plank Patty Cake

Like

Stand facing each other with your feet on the floor and your weight on your hands, your palms straight under your shoulders.
In this position, play patty-cake by slapping each other’s hands alternately.
Perform the exercise for 30 seconds in 3-4 sets.

4. High-five Push-Ups

Like

Stand facing each other with your feet on the floor, your weight on your hands, and your hands straight under your shoulders-keep your back straight.
Lower your hips and torso down with your back straight by flexing your hands, lift your body up and give each other a high- to each other with your right hands.
Do it again, but this time high-five each other with your left hands.
Repeat the exercise 10 times in 3-4 sets.

5. Lateral Squat Walks

Like

Stand back to back and bend your knees, making sure to support each other's back.
Spread your legs into a squat position by bending your knees to 90 degrees.
Take 5 steps to the right while keeping this position and then 5 steps to the left.
Perform the exercise for 40 seconds.

6. Medicine-Ball Sit-ups

Like

Sit on the floor facing each other with your knees bent, your feet pressed against the floor, and toes touching each other.
One of you will remain in a seated position, while the other holds a medicine ball in both hands against their chest while lying on their back.
The friend who’s lying should lift their upper body while exhaling and throw the ball to the seated friend.
The friend who receives the ball should now lie back down on the floor slowly, and repeat the exercise from the lying position.
Do 20 repetitions.
