One great way to make going to the gym more fun is to find a workout buddy. Whether it’s a friend, a partner, or just an acquaintance who has similar fitness goals, doing your workouts together can increase the likelihood that you’ll stick with them, as well as increase trust and teamwork. Here are some fun two-person workouts to get you started.
15-Minute High-Intensity Workout
This short, high-intensity workout from fitness Instagram NourishMoveLove is perfect for doing at home when you and your buddy have a little spare time. It’s a body-weight workout, meaning you don’t need any extra equipment and it consists of 10 different exercises. For some you’ll use each other for support and others you’ll clap or move together.
Full-Body Gym Workout
If you don’t want to physically rely on your partner (and you’re at a gym), you can try this switch-off workout from Thumbsupfitness. Here, each partner rests while the other does a round of exercise. This is a slightly more hands-off way to give moral support and have someone to “tag you in” so you don’t cool down too much between rounds.
Full-Body Workout
This is another workout you and a friend can do together with a series of equipment-free exercises. In this one, you will in some cases support each other’s weight or try to challenge your friend to stay strong. Have fun!
