-Hey everyone, Ayesha Curry here! -And Nicole Winhoffer!
-And we’re back to you guys again with another Kaiser Permanente and Elite Daily Work It collaboration.
-So, partner workouts are really good because it holds you accountable, so you can’t skip a rep
It gives you more energy and makes it more fun.
You can also distract yourself a little bit by gossipping, talking about boys,
whatever you want, so, it’s just about having fun and not being so serious.
-Perfect! Let’s work it.
So what’s our first double trouble workout action move thingy?
-Ooo! It’s called the Partner Bridge.
So, you’re gonna get a mat, which we have laid out here
You’re going to lay on your back, place your feet on the couch.
Now, the point of this exercise is to hold this position the whole time, so bridge.
-Alright, I’m bridging! -Ooo, that’s a good bridge!
So you’re gonna push your triceps down to the floor, squeeze your inner thighs, and
you’re gonna tap my foot - tap it!
Now the other one - go!
One, and get it, and you’re so strong.
Keep those hips up girl, you got that!
So this is working the back of the thighs, and the outer thigh, the low abs,
and squeezing your rhomboids to make sure you’re working arms as well.
And lower. That was awesome!
-So now that we’ve build bridges, what’s our next construction project?
-We’re gonna build your low abs!
These are called the Partner Ab Throwdowns.
So I’m gonna be you for just one second.
You’re gonna lay down on your back, and you’re gonna take your left knee into your chest to
protect your low back, and you’re gonna extend your right leg.
I’m gonna be standing behind you and I’m gonna throw down your leg, and you’re
gonna stop one inch just off the floor and that’s what’s gonna contract your stomach.
Here we go, we’re gonna do five.
Five! -Is that right?
Four! That’s perfect! Look at that form!
You’re great. Let’s do one more. And left leg.
-I’m trying to point my toe. -Look at you, you’re such a dancer!
-I’m not, I have no rhythm. -You’re such a dancer!
-And - perfect. Get it girl!
-I like that. -That was awesome
-I like that. -I liked it a lot.
Number 3 is going to be the Side By Side Buttlifts
You’re my partner, so your partner’s gonna kneel down next to you.
-Okay, should I do that now? -Yes ma’am. -Okay.
-And then together, we’re going to extend the outside leg straight.
You’re gonna lift it off the floor, squeezing your low abs, like 2 inches and
then you’re gonna bend it and find my foot behind you.
Pop it, and then back to the floor.
So this is really good for the medius, which is the top butt muscle.
It’s good for the outer thigh, it’s good for the IT band, which slenderizes your leg.
It’s good for your low abs, and it’s good for the giggles!
-It’s really good for the giggles. -We’re smiling ‘cause we’re happy women!
-Now that time has come, there’s only 1 more exercise left. Don’t kill me!
-I don’t wanna kill you, I want you to have fun! It’s called Gimme Five.
We’re gonna plank up. -Okay.
-And then you’re gonna give me high five - one. -Oh my gosh.
-Two! Good. Now you have to follow my hands.
Oh my gosh!
-Hey! Hey! Hey!
Three, two, one! Yay!
-Super good for your core, for your arms, for your back, and it keeps your brain
connected to your muscles, so there’s always a partner in charge to challenge.
-I feel good! -I feel good too!
-Total body workout.
Alright well I guess that’s it!
I’m so happy we did this, I feel light and fresh.
And everyone at home should always grab a workout buddy
it’s great energy, it’s great motivation, and we had a blast.
An absolute blast.
