Partners alternate through this challenge:

1. 5x Push-ups
2. 10x squats
3. 15x sit-ups
4. 1x Burpee (together)

Partner A does 5 push-ups, Partner B does 10 squats, Partner A does 15 sit-ups and then they EACH do 1 burpee.

Next round, Partner B starts with 5 push-ups, Partner A does 10 squats and Partner B does 15 sit-ups. Now they EACH do 2 burpees.

Keep alternating moves and ADDING A BURPEE each round!

The first few rounds seem fairly easy (eases them into it) but as the burpees add up, so does the intensity! Partner group with the most completed rounds wins, they get to choose an ab move to incorporate in core finisher.

My name is Nancy Krueger and I have been running my own Boot Camp in the small town I live in as well as a nearby rural community for 4.5 years. I have 4 kids and also work 30hrs a week at my “daytime” job (that I also love).
