Working out with a gym buddy at a fitness center can add a whole new dimension to your full-body routine. Here’s a full body workout with my gym buddy. We typically do these exercises early on a Friday or Saturday morning.
Having a partner can boost motivation, push you to work harder, and even make the gym experience more fun. Here’s how to leverage your gym buddy for a productive and enjoyable full-body workout:
- Plan and Conquer: Discuss your fitness goals and any limitations beforehand. This allows you to design a circuit that incorporates exercises targeting all major muscle groups while catering to each other’s needs. You can even try alternating between upper and lower body exercises to keep things interesting and allow for short rest periods.
- Partner Exercises: There are a variety of exercises that can be made even more effective by incorporating your gym buddy. Here are a couple of examples:
- Medicine Ball Slams: Stand facing each other, a few feet apart, each holding a medicine ball. Slam the ball down on the ground in front of you, then twist and pass it to your partner for their slam. This is a great core and upper body workout.
- Assisted Squats: Stand back-to-back, holding onto each other’s forearms for support. Perform squats together, using each other’s weight for slight resistance and encouraging proper form.
- Spotting and Encouragement: Having a gym buddy spot you during weightlifting exercises like bench presses or overhead presses provides an extra layer of safety. They can also be your personal cheerleader, motivating you to push through those last few challenging reps.
Remember to maintain proper form throughout your workout and don’t hesitate to adjust the weight or difficulty of exercises as needed. Having a gym buddy can not only make your full-body workout more effective but also create a fun and supportive atmosphere to help you reach your fitness goals.
