Partners do synchronized lunges with knee lifts, then lock ankles for overhead presses with weights. The instructor counts down reps and cues form throughout, emphasizing core engagement and balance.
All right, you guys, we are about to begin Block Number 2. In this set of exercises, we're gonna be doing some more partner work with lunging and lifting our knees up into our chest for some core stability. And then we're gonna grab our weights and lock ankles with our partner and lift those weights up overhead. So let's get started. So we're gonna grab hold of each other's hands, and I'm gonna step back with my right leg as Matt lunges with his left. So we're gonna come back into a lunge, and then we're gonna lift the knee up. So you wanna be able to mutually find balance and stability, but then also find your own balance and stability at the same time. So let's do 4 more on this leg. Lift it up. 3. Good job. 2. And 1. And let's shake out that leg. And then let's go to the other side. So now my left and Matt's right, we're gonna lunge back and we're gonna lift the knee up. So deep lunge and lift. Good job. And let's do 4 more like this. Lunge, tuck in that core, find your stability. Last 2. And 1 more. Good job. And then drop the leg, shake it out. Now what we're gonna do is grab our hand weights. I would go lighter on the weights. Depending on what you normally lift. And then we're gonna lock ankles, so I'm gonna have my right leg, Matt's gonna have his left leg. And you lock ankles, bring your hands to shoulder width with the weights, and you're gonna lift and lower. So we're just gonna do 8 of these. 7, good. 6 and 5. Keep tucking in that core. 4 more, good. 3, lift for 2 more. And last one. Drop legs and let's go right to the other side. Okay, so we're gonna lock ankles now on the other side.
