1. Cost effective – very little equipment is needed
2. Large variety of exercises
3. Competition between partners provides better fitness results
4. Accountability and social support
5. Its more fun!

We often use buddy training in our boot camps and find that it works particularly well. The competitive side in people comes out they push themselves to the limit which in turn yields better results – faster.

The Buddy Training Workout – Tabata Style

This total body workout will consist of bodyweight exercises. Each station you will alternate between 20 seconds of work followed by 10 seconds of rest. Repeat this 30 second set another 8 times for a total of 4 minutes followed by a 1 minute rest before moving on the next station.

Exercise 1 Med-ball squat and pass

Exercise 2 Buddy Push up and Row

Exercise 3 Plank and reach (tapping opposite hands across)

Exercise 4 Buddy resisted reverse lunges

Now go find yourself a buddy to train with – or join one of our Sydney boot camps and get training.
