90 Day Challenge workout: Partnered Moves to a Better Sex Life

Working out with your partner can be fun and its great for improving communication. I have done other posts on the benefits of working out with your significant other. I figured now is a good time for an actual workout routine.

Warm-Up
100 Jumping Jacks
30 Body Weight Squats
20 Hip Raises
10 Iron Crosses
10 Scorpions
50 Crunches
20 Super Mans




Push-ups 3x10 (Here's the partner part, your significant other will be laying under you every time you lower yourself, they get a kiss. This ensures you are working through the complete range of motion. They can also assist you in your push-ups by pushing at the hips or shoulders if you are having trouble)






Dips 3x10 (Your partner will position themselves in a bridge. Place your hands on your partners knees with your feet outstretched. This will ensure you arms go to a 90 deg angle when you lower yourself. You can make this move easier by keeping your feet flat on the floor knees at a 90 deg angle.)






Single Leg Squat 3x10 (One person will be in a high plank during this exercise while the other is standing. The standing partner will be positioned at the middle of the other persons body facing away from them. Bend your knee and lift your foot setting it on your partners back. You should now be standing on one foot. Lower yourself until you are in a lunge position. Then drive through the heel straightening your leg.)







Saddle Sit-Ups 3x10 ( This move require strength from both partners. Jump up wrapping your legs around your partners waist. Lower yourself backwards, your partner can assist you in sitting back up if needed by holding your hands. If you are not strong enough to hold your partner up this can also be done seated.)









Squats 3x10 (Face your partner with legs shoulder width apart. You should be an arms length away from them. While holding hands both partners should lower their bodies as a unit, giving resistance as the other person pulls against them. This will allow you to get deep into the squat. Don't let your knees drift over your toes. Though this should be relatively impossible in this position.)








Planks 3x:20 (Perform a plank as usual with the exception that you will be holding your partners outstretched hand. You will change hands every 5 seconds. Essentially you will be doing a one arm plank. Similar to a birddog.)
