Core doesn’t have to mean another boring article about perfecting your swimsuit body, unleashing 12-pack abs, or convincing you how important a strong core is to a healthy movement practice. Real talk: Core work can be fun, especially when you bring a friend. Check out these six amazing partner yoga fitness core exercises\u2014and for goodness sake, please remember this: go slowly.<\/em>\u00a0Build your partner up, don’t break them down.<\/p>\n

Exercise 1: Houdini Fingers<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Harry Houdini, in addition to being a legendary escape artist, had a standing challenge that he could withstand any punch to the abdomen. His technique was based on being able to engage his core<\/a> quickly inwards towards his spine to receive the blow as it landed.<\/p>\n

\"32_optimized\"<\/p>\n

Ask your friend to keep their shoulders stacked over their hips over their feet, and under no circumstance should they let you touch their belly button. Essentially, we’re practicing a slow motion version of Houdini’s 99 percent effective technique (search “Houdini Death” for more info about that 1 percent, and marvel at how core awareness can save your life)!<\/p>\n

Exercise 2: Throwaways<\/h3>\n

Easy to set up (but challenging) this exercise is sure to keep both your core and brain fully engaged!
\n\"33_optimized\"aPartner A lays down on their back with their legs lifted and squeezed together, arms lifted overhead with hands clamped firmly on Partner B’s calves. Partner B tucks their feet under Partner A’s shoulders, and begins (slowly at first) to throw those legs back and forth.\u00a0It’s super easy to get carried away here (which usually results in DANGER<\/em>), so make sure to start with gentle movements so both partners can feel out their strengths and limitations.<\/p>\n

Exercise 3: Side Plank High Fives<\/h3>\n

Does this exercise fire up on a multitude of levels?! Prepare for feel those obliques (side body muscles), as well as toning your shoulders and hips.<\/p>\n

\"34_optimized\"Both partners get into side plank back to back. Can’t rock an extended arm? Totally cool!\u00a0Feel free to start on your forearm. Extend the top arms straight up, tap knuckles, and then reach under your lower side body with a luxuriously slow rotation for another tappers. Remember to keep those hips lifted.<\/p>\n

Exercise 4: Plank Stack<\/h3>\n

Plank, by itself, is a pretty good core strengthening posture. It helps to stabilize the midline and create horizontal alignment from heels to shoulders through your hips. Why not add a little extra oomph to challenge those abs?<\/p>\n

\"35_optimized\"<\/p>\n

Partner A starts in tabletop position (all fours). Partner B places hands on the floor perpendicular to A’s hips and hooks the top of their feet (toes & ankles pointed) on A’s sacrum. B extends into full plank, A extends into full plank (one leg at a time for an easier variation), and then marvel at how much fun it is to be a friendship bridge!<\/p>\n

Exercise 5: Slapfight!<\/h3>\n

You liking the plank work? Great. It never has to end.<\/p>\n

\"37_optimized\"<\/p>\n

While facing your partner in plank, both\u00a0lift your right hand and slap it out. Place it back down, and repeat on the other side. Too easy? Awesome! Try to move the rest of your body as little as possible. Still too easy? Throw a push up after each slap. Want more power? Impressive… Instead of slapping, keep your palms connected, push into your partner’s arm, and tell them a joke. After all, laughter is a great core workout.<\/p>\n

Exercise 6: Rocky<\/h3>\n

Sit facing your partner with knees bent and feet flat on the ground. Interlock ankles, knowing that whoever has the inside wrap has it much<\/em>\u00a0easier than the other. Proceed to bang out a zillion good old fashioned sit-ups, either one at a time (with some cool looking punch high-fives) or both firing away (hardcore pattycake style).<\/p>\n

\"36_optimized\"<\/b><\/p>\n

Advanced variation:<\/b>
\n\"38_optimized\"
\nFeeling strong? Stable? Do you have the eye of the tiger?\u00a0<\/em>Check out the GIF above and perform your very own variation of arguably the best cinematic training montage of any action film ever made.<\/p>\n
