Pick up the pace and walk as fast as you can for the next 5 minutes. Now walk with the biggest steps you can make for three minutes. Now turn around and walk backwards for the next three minutes. Follow with sideways walking, just crossing one leg over another. Switch to the other side to get side walking in for both legs.Now walk with as small and quick steps as you can for 3 minutes. Now return to a moderate pace for 5 more minutes. Now, laugh and have a sip of water! Your free workouts for teens require teamwork and a good sense of humor! • Legs:Partner squats Stand facing your workout buddy. Hold hands and slowly begin to sit back into a squat position. Stop when knees are at a 90-degree angle. You are holding each other up here, so hold on tight! Inhale to stay, exhale to return to starting position. Repeat 5-10 times. Works quads, butt, and hamstrings. Tip: Keep your focus on your friend. • Ballet Plies:Stand with your backs leaning together, legs turned out and wider than hips width apart, hands on hips. Slowly start to bend knees keeping knees out over toes. Go as low as you can, exhale and return to standing. Repeat 5-10 times. Tip: Work together on this one. You have to move at the same pace to make it down and up smoothly. • Arms: Wheel Barrow One buddy is in a plank position, arms straight, hands under shoulders and legs straight. The other buddy is holding their feet, one on either side of their hips. The planking buddy starts to walk on their hands as far as they can manage without falling down. Switch places and repeat. Works upper body strength and core strength. Tip: Work as a team! The upright friend cannot go faster than the planking buddy can handle. Use tummy muscles to hold plank position.

Slowly move your hips off the seat and bend your elbows lowering your butt down towards the ground. Elbows shouldn’t go deeper than a 90-degree angle. Exhale to straighten arms. Repeat 10 times.

Tip: Keep legs high enough that you can keep your back connected to the floor at all times. • Partnered Teasers: One workout buddy lies on the floor with arms stretched over head, legs straight and held about 45 degree angle. The other buddy holds onto their feet just above their own knees. Buddy on floor inhales to raise their arms, exhales to roll their spines off the mat reaching for the shoulders of their friend.
