Parallel squat: Hold on to your buddy's hands (or wrists) and squat together. Stay down for a few seconds and come back up. Then try holding only the right hand (let the other hand hang loose) and repeat the exercise. — Photos: Pexels

Push-ups with a high five: Do a push-up either on your knees or with straight legs, and when you come up to a high plank, high five each other using the right hand. Repeat with the left hand, and continue alternating your hands as you both do your push-ups.
Anchored sit-ups: Hold your buddy’s ankle as she does 15-20 sit-ups. Switch partners and repeat until you get tired.
Alternating high fives: Get into a high plank position next to your buddy and give five high fives with your inside hands as demonstrated here. Then give five gentle, low fives using your inside legs. Do five sets, then switch sides.
Russian twist with a weighted medicine ball: Get into this position and twist your torso right and left while taking turns to hold the ball. When you turn towards your partner, pass the ball over, i.e. you’ll be holding the ball every other time you twist.
