Partner Workout Melissa Bender Fitness

Hi Everyone,

Grab a friend because today we have a partner workout! Research has shown that people are more likely to stick to their workout routine if they workout with a pal. So find a friend and try out some of these moves. If you don’t have anyone to workout with don’t be afraid to modify the workout so you can do it on your own.

This workout is a lot of fun, and works out your entire body. Don’t be afraid to have a good time with it! Thanks to Jillian for the great idea. I really enjoyed trying a different type of workout. Feel free to comment and let me know what you think!

Enjoy,

Melissa
