The person that is on the ground with be holding a downward god position while the person standing will be doing a workout as well.

This workout is a fun spin on the beloved childhood game of leap frog. One partner will be on the ground, in a squat position with both hands on the ground. The second person will then leap over the partner on the ground by placing your hands on the top of their back and then leaping over their heads. Then, the partner that jumped over the partner on the ground will move to a squat position with their hands on the ground and the other partner will then jump over you. You will then continue to do this until you reach the end of the room where you are preforming the workout. Keep repeating for the deserved amount of time you can handle it.
Doing partner leg throws is a simple and great way for you to work your abs! For me I think this is one of the hardest partner workouts. To start this workout you will have one partner that is standing and one that is laying with your back on the floor. The partner standing should be standing right above the head of the partner on the ground. The partner on the ground will then lift both of the legs to make a ninety degree angle and make sure that they are gripping the ankles of the partner that is standing. The partner standing will then grab hold of their legs and then throw them back on the ground. This workout can be painful at times, but that is just because your abs are working! The key is to make sure that you are not letting your heels hit the ground. Once you do this, repeat for about ten times and then switch positions with your partner.
As a kid, I remember playing wheelbarrow with my friends, for some reason we all thought it was fun, but little did we know that it is actually a great workout.

The partner that is squatting will then kick up one leg for the partner behind them to grad.

After this the person that is on the ground will use their hands to walk across the room. While they are doing this, the person that is standing will continue to move along with them. Once they reach the end of the room, then the partners can switch positions and repeat.
