Better With a Friend: Strength-Training Moves That Are More Effective With a Buddy
:upscale()/ps-image-unavailable.png)
Working out with a buddy is definitely more fun, but with partner exercises, you can work your muscles differently and more efficiently. In this move, one partner holds elbow plank while the other does elevated push-ups, resting their feet on their partner's lower back. Try these moves the next time you're with a fitness friend.
If dropping back and kicking over in backbend has always been one of your goals, this is a safe (and fun!) way to try it out.
