Partner Workout

Instructions
Find a space that is clear in front, behind, and to each side of you to avoid injury. Perform a warm-up that consists of an activity that gradually increases your heart rate and moves your joints through a moderate to large range of motion such as the one below. Perform each exercise in the warm-up for 45 seconds.

Equipment
You will need a ball or another object in this workout. A kettlebell or dumbbell may also be substituted for a ball in some cases for more of a challenge.
