Challenge your partner to this couple's workout at home

Many of us are staying at home with the other half, finding that we’re spending a lot more time with each other. So, we think this challenging each other to this couple’s workout at home is a great idea!

We’ve teamed up with VITHIT to bring your this unreal couple’s workout from pilates instructor Caoimhe O’Dwyer and fitness coach Jack Tuite.

VITHIT is a low sugar, low calorie health drink filled with 100% RDA of your daily vitamins and health boosting teas.

The two show us how it’s done, giving us difficult and modified versions of each exercise.

You’ll do 40 seconds on each exercise with 20-second rest in between. Go for four to five sets with a minute’s rest after each.

To kick off this couple’s workout at home, you’re going to do start with Starlight Arm Russian Twist.

For the modified version, keep your feet on the ground. To make it more challenging, lift them off the ground.

The next exercise is Bird Dog.

Starting on your hands and knees on your mat, you’re going to extend one arm and the opposite leg, bring them back to position and repeat on the other side.
