Hey, everyone.
Angie Miller here, and I'm so glad
you joined me here today for more education, motivation,
and tips to take our teaching to the next level.
So I have a partner with me today, my friend Monica,
a longtime group fitness fan.
And I brought a partner because we're going
to do partner exercises today.
So we're out here in sunny Arizona at a beautiful resort.
So we have a talkative bird in the background,
but we won't mind the bird, right?
So partner exercises are great because your participants
hold one another accountable.
They are also a great way to get your participants
to connect with one another.
And they're fun, and they're challenging.
So instead of you always being the one
to hold everybody in your group fitness classes accountable,
they get to hold one another accountable.
So Monica and I are going to show you a few options.
There are so many variations and so many partner
exercises that you could do.
We could film all day long.
We're just going to show you a few.
Then, you go back and you make it creative.
And you do whatever you need to do
to match the needs of your group fitness community.
Are you ready, Monica?
All right, so we're going to step away from each other.
A good resistance here.
And we'll take a right lunge back, and then a bicep curl,
and a right lunge back, and a bicep curl.
Awesome.
And I'm walking around the room when I'm teaching this.
And I'm watching form.
And we'll stop there.
And we'll do a high row.
Are you ready?
So we're going to do a high row.
You want to exhale.
You could add some rotation onto this.
You could even add a squat onto this.
So let's go back to that lunge, Monica.
a So we'll do a right leg lunge, and then we'll do a narrow row.
So a right leg lunge, and then narrow row.
Step all the way back.
Keep the torso long and extended.
Keep the chest open.
And one more, and then narrow row.
And then, we're going to show you just one more.
So we're going to do a side lunge.
You could add a rotation if you wanted to.
Keep this inside leg straight.
Are you ready?
So a big side lunge out to the side.
I think we're going to see which one of us
is going to pull the other one off balance.
I think Monica is stronger than me.
Just a couple more, and then one more side lunge.
So there's so many exercises that you
could do with your group fitness participants.
I wanted to just give you a few.
You can always add all kinds of variations if you want to.
Thank you, Monica.
So again, my name is Angie.
Thank you so much for joining me.
