November 13- Partner Work

During today's class we broke up into partners and did the core training partner routines. We used a lot of different things like BOSU balls, resistance bands, and exercise balls. I worked with Tayler and we pretty much just went down the list of exercises until we got to the end.

We started off using the resistance bands and working on our upper body muscles. We did exercises standing a few feet away from each other and pulled the resistance bands back and forth to strengthen our arm muscles. We also did some exercises where we would rotate while pulling the resistance bands which added more of a challenge by engaging our abdominal muscles.

We used the exercise balls a lot with the abdominal workouts to make it a little harder. We did crunches as well and each time we came up we had to high five our partner. I think a lot of the ab exercises really targeted the lower abs, which I like. The hardest part for me was doing the right-center-left leg drops because there were so many continuous repetitions.

Other exercises like lunges and balancing on the BOSU balls were good too. They weren't too hard but doing a lot of repetitions helped to make it effective!
