One of the best ways to push your workout to a fat-burning cardio level is to grab a friend. "Exercising with a partner motivates you to work harder because you don't want to let your teammate down," says Wilke, which is why at Throwback Fitness, he and Gallagher pair up clients who attend their classes. Have one partner use a rowing machine, while the other performs exercises on the floor.
Workout:
- Person 1: Row at a hard, but sustainable pace
- Person 2: Perform 10 hand release push-ups, followed by 15 kettlebell swings
Switch when the second partner completes two rounds; continue for 16 minutes (or desired workout length), keeping track of the total distance each person has rowed.
