Riassunto
Encouragement, motivation, friendly competition, and accountability are just a few of the many benefits of working out with a partner. And there is no doubt that partner workouts produce results. But success requires more than just pairing up. You need the right partner, the best exercises, and proven programs to achieve and maintain your goals. You need Partner Workouts.
In Partner Workouts, fitness expert Krista Popowych will help you establish the foundation for success with guidance on movement principles, exercise selection, and your training environment setup. You'll get advice on how to select a partner for maximum benefits and how to work out with the partners you already have, including a friend, significant other, or child. Learn how to modify exercises and adapt your workouts based on variances in individual partner goals, level of fitness, and relative size, so you can both get the maximum benefit from each workout.
You'll find 15 ready-to-use workouts, along with nearly 100 exercises and stretches for creating your own perfect partner workout. Tailor workouts to your desired focus, including HIIT, strength workouts, cardio, and more.

The versatility of each exercise makes it simple for you and your partner to get in a great workout, no matter whether you're in a gym, in your home, or outdoors.
For fitness professionals, the teaching tips will help with incorporating partner exercises into large- or small-group fitness programs, building comradery, and keeping clients coming back for more.
