GOT YOUR

BACK

1. You and your friend
   stand back-to-back
   with your legs and heels
   touching, feet shoulder-
   width apart and arms
   hooked at the elbows.


2. You both inch your
   feet forward a few steps
   and bend your knees
   to squat. Hold squat
   position for 30 seconds.
   GET COMFY
   Experiment with the
   best foot position for
   each of you so that you
   both squat safely with
   knees over heels.

I HEART YOU

You and your friend both lie

face-up on the ground, heads

about 30cm apart, so that together

you make a straight line, arms at

sides and legs straight in front

of you. You lift both legs o… the

ground, then pop hips up to touch

toes over your heads. Slowly lower

your legs. That’s one rep – do 15.

NAIL IT Focus on lowering your

legs very slowly to make core

muscles work harder.
