FUN Partner Workout

Working out is always better with a buddy, so grab a friend and sweat together.

*For this workout you will need a TRX suspension trainer, but I have included a
substitution if you do not have one at your gym.

Instructions:
One partner will be doing a HOLD while the other does REPS.
Start with 1 REP and then 2, up to 6.

Example:
Partner A does 1 TRX Row (while the other is holding).
Then Partner B does 1 TRX Row (while partner A is holding).
Partner A does 2 Rows, then Partner B 2 Rows, etc.
Keep alternating back and forth until you get to 6.

Exercise 1: TRX Rows (or supermans laying on mat)/ Row HOLD




Exercise 2: Squats (squat jump for advanced option)/ Squat HOLD



Exercise 3: TRX Pushup (Or regular pushups on ground)/ Pushup HOLD




Exercise 4: V ups/Boat pose HOLD




Exercise 5: Bridges/ Bridge HOLD


Second time around you can start with 6 REPS of each and go down to 1.

***THRIVE on!***

What are you doing to develop new relationships or grow deeper in the ones you have? 2- Say NO It’s okay to say no sometimes. A “no” doesn’t have to mean a no forever, but it can mean a no for right now. Saying no to some things is crucial to achieving work/life balance and it’s a powerful thing. 3- REST Take 1 day a week and do not do any work. Just try it and maybe you’ll see that you feel more rejuvenated and get more work done on other days of the week. You can use this as a renewal day, read a book and/or catch up with friends.

WHY- 7 Layers Deep

When we need to find motivation for change We Start by Digging Deep Into Our WHY We all have struggles in reaching our goals, but without knowing WHY we have them it’s easy to slip and get off track. This exercise is called “LOOKING 7 LEVELS DEEP” and here’s what you do: Write down the #1 reason why you have this goal ___________________________ Then LOOK ANOTHER LEVEL DEEPER and ask yourself why that #1 reason is important to you? Then go even 5 more levels deep until you’ve asked yourself WHY to your previous answer 7 Levels deep. Once you have THE FINAL 7th level WHY, please share it with me so I can keep you accountable. Here is an example of how to go 7 levels deep: I want to lose 10 lbs I want to lose 10 lbs because I feel unhealthy I don’t want to feel unhealthy because I’d like to have more energy for my partner & job.
