Partner Workout

Today in class, we broke into pairs and did a number of partner core workouts. The workouts included, a medicine ball, resistance bands and a balance ball. First we dealt with the medicine ball and did a variation of squats, overhand throws, and cherry pickers. With the balance ball, one of us stood on the ball while the other stood on one foot. Each of us held an end of the resistance band and tried to stay balanced the longest - I found standing on one foot to be more difficult than standing on the balance ball. Another neat workout was the patty-cake planks. In this variation of the traditional plank, we positioned ourselves so we faced one another and alternated clapping our hands with each other. We ended the workout with a large circle medicine ball pass. We each did cherry pickers until the medicine ball was passed all the wat around the circle. Since we did four sets, I found this very difficult to complete.
