Today on Shaped by Faith we are going to do a partner exercise that is FUN and easy to do anywhere, anytime, wearing whatever you have on, including dress clothes! My exercise guest is Alma Randolph, she is the founder of the Alma Randolph Charitable Foundation which provides back to school clothing to children in need. She proves by wearing her stilettos that you can workout in anything.

 

I love Alma’s passion and dedication to helping children in need. Her foundation is hosting a Ladies Luncheon and Fashion Show to benefit the children on May 16th at 11:00 am at the Owensboro Convention Center. Guests are asked to wear black and white in support of all children and add to the festive décor of the day.

 

I chose this particular partner exercise knowing that children would also love to do this exercise too!

 

Choosing an exercise partner is one of the best ways to stay motivated and keep moving forward. Together, you both can succeed. In Ecclesiastes 4, we’re encouraged us to team up with a partner so that we can help each other: “Two people are better off than one, for they can help each other succeed. If one person falls, the other can reach out and help.”

 

Exercise: Partner Squat & Throw

 

Both partners should stand facing each other about three to five feet apart. One partner will hold a play ball  in front of their chest. Both partners will inhale and lower down into a squat position, keeping their knees back, abdominals contracted, and spines lengthened. Both partners will exhale and raise up to standing tall as the partner with the ball passes it directly in front of their chest and the other partner catches it. Both inhale, lower back down, and continue passing the ball for 12–16 repetitions and 1–3 sets. You can make this exercise advanced by jumping up in the air as you pass the ball. You can also progress this exercise by using a small weighted ball (we used a 5 lb ball) and a Stability Ball!
