ALL LEVELS / full-body Valentine’s partner workout / 30 minutes

Equipment: Medicine ball

Couples that work out together stay together — at least, that’s how the saying goes. While we can’t promise that this is a foolproof recipe for everlasting love, there’s no denying that breaking a sweat with your partner (or a friend because who needs dating apps when you’ve got dumbbells?) can strengthen your bond and your muscles.

Why not swap the fancy dinner for this full-body Valentine’s partner workout this Valentine’s Day? This workout consists of 4 exercises with 12 reps each, performed over 4 rounds. You’ll rest for 1 minute between rounds—use this time to catch your breath, share a laugh, and maybe sneak in a kiss for encouragement. In approximately 30 minutes, you’ll get your blood flowing and your heart racing like you’re in love.

  1. Clap push-up
  2. Medicine ball twist and pass
  3. High-five burpees
  4. Medicine ball squat and pass

Ready? Let’s make that heart race!

WORKOUT SETUP

  • 12 reps
  • 4 rounds
  • 1-min rest between rounds

WORKOUT EXERCISE LIST

4 rounds  

1 – CLAP PUSH-UP

12 reps each

  • Get into a high plank position, facing each other, close enough to clap hands.
  • Do a push-up, then clap hands with your partner diagonally — both using the same hand.
  • Return to the high plank position.
  • Do the same with the other hand and repeat 12 times.

2 – MEDICINE BALL TWIST AND PASS

12 reps each

  • Sit beside your partner, and balance your body weight using your hips.
  • Ensure your torso is at a 45-degree angle to the floor and your back straight.
  • One of you should hold the medicine ball at chest level and touch the ball on the floor before passing it over.
  • Your partner will wait for your pass in an ab hold. After receiving the ball from you, they’ll touch it on the floor and hand it over again.
  • Repeat for 12 times seconds.

3 – HIGH-FIVE BURPEES

12 reps each

  • Start in a standing position, facing your partner.
  • Perform a burpee — squat down, kick your feet back into a plank, jump forward, and stand up.
  • Reach out and give your partner a double high-five.
  • Repeat 12 times.

4 – MEDICINE BALL SQUAT AND PASS

12 reps each

  • Stand face to face with your partner, both with your feet shoulder-width apart and your feet slightly pointing out.
  • One of you should be holding the medicine ball before starting.
  • Keep your chest proud and look forward.
  • Squat simultaneously — one of you holding the ball at chest level — pushing your hips back, and bending your knees.
  • Come back up and throw the ball to your partner.
  • Repeat 12 times each.
