By Niki Torres owner of Folk Fitness North Carolina February 6, 2020


Working out is way more fun when you have a partner 

So find a partner, any partner (Significant Other, friend, kid, or your Mom), and give this full-body workout a try. Here’s your equipment list:

  • A partner
  • One ball (any soccer-type ball will do, or you can also use a weighted medicine ball)
  • Two paper plates
  • A sense of humor - have fun trying out some of these moves together!

Partner Strength Circuit

Complete each exercise below for 30 seconds, then move to the next exercise. For exercises with asterisks, be sure to work the opposite side or swap places with partner & repeat before moving forward! Repeat circuit 2-3 times before collapsing into laughter on the floor.
