For most people Valentine's Day is an excuse to hook-up and eat chocolate. Hey, sounds good to me too, but surely we can be more creative than that! Why not mix things up this V-Day with a fun workout you can do in the comfort of your home with your significant other?
Today I am going to demo the concept of partner training. Partner training workouts are essentially a workout that involves performing joint exercises with at least one other person or more. There are a ton of benefits to partner training, including:
* Social Support and Accountability
* Provides a Ton of Variety
* Breeds Competition and Drives Better Results
* It's FUN!
Partner training can definitely spice a workout up. So before you head out for dinner, grab your valentine and give this workout a go:
The Valentine's Day Partner Training Workout
Readers of my blog know I LOVE TRAINING WITH RESISTANCE BANDS. They provide a unique type of resistance and they give you the ability to perform a resistance training workout targeting your entire body in any location. Try lugging a bunch of dumbbells around in your gym bag :-)
This 20-minute total body partner circuit training workout maximizes the use of one band. They are just so many things you can do with them! This workout will surely help set the stage for a great day.
For each exercise, one partner will perform as many reps as possible (in good form) for 20 seconds while the other partner holds; then switch positions before moving on to the next exercise. You will cycle through the 4-exercise circuit 4 times for a total of 20 minutes. Note: Your ultimate goal is to be able to perform at least 10-15 reps per set for each maximum effort exercise within the circuit. Once you accomplish this, seek to increase loading or progress to a more advanced exercise variation.
Exercise 1: Hip Squats
Exercise 2: Split Stance Chest Press
Exercise 3: Good Mornings
Exercise 4: Split Stance Rows
Active Recovery Exercise: Back Pedals
Special Note: For a more advanced version of this same workout, perform each exercise simultaneously. Use a 40:20 or 50:10 interval. That will really spice things up!
Now go ask someone to be your valentine and get after it!!!
They say that sweat-driven pheromones are one of nature's most powerful aphrodisiacs... you tell me...And of course, hit the shower when you're done ;-)

As with many things cosmetic, a lot of us are less than thrilled with our skin color. We would like to be darker; we would like to be lighter; we would like smoother, less blotchy skin.

The use of prohibited drugs by young people today is now the world's scourge. The drug problem is quite alarming and nations all over the world are strongly fisted in the fight of eradicating the supply and demand of illegal drugs.
