Chris Comfort: Hi. I’m Chris Comfort.
Kim Strother: And, I’m Kim Strother.
Chris Comfort: And, we’re both models with Ford. And, this is a couple’s workout. And, we modified the exercises so that we could accommodate for the size difference between a guy and a girl.
Kim Strother: And make them fun.
Chris Comfort: And make them fun, exactly. So, the first exercise is going to be our modified pushup.
Kim Strother: Don’t steal my line.
Chris Comfort: Sorry. Go ahead, Kim.
Kim Strother: The first exercises that we’re going to do is pushups. Get down and interlock our hands and I’m going to put my feet on Chris’s toes. I’m going to drop down first.
Chris Comfort: And, this becomes a pushup for Kim and a chest press for me. So now, it’s my turn to work harder. So, we are going to modify it so that I’m getting more challenged. Okay. So, let me get into a standard push position. And then Kim is going to get into a kneeling cobra pushup position on my back because I’m strong to do a lot of pushup with my own body. But if I want a challenge, I’ll add a little extra weight to me.
Kim Strother: Just a little.
Chris Comfort: Just a little. Ready?
Kim Strother: Yep.
Chris Comfort: And again, simultaneous push.
Kim Strother: Now, this is working more of my triceps.
Chris Comfort: Four more?
Kim Strother: Yep.
Chris Comfort: Now this workout in particular with Kim here is working a lot of my ears really just to put up with all the—anyway.
Kim Strother: I have created this workout for my dear friend Chris here. I was a cheerleader in college though. It’s kind of similar to that. So, he’s going to be doing a chest press and I get to work on my balance. So, he is working his chest. And then, you’re going to hold me up there with this one. Now, here comes the challenge. He’s going to be feeling the burn.
Chris Comfort: So, we’re going to take the rowing movement and we’ll break it into two parts. The first one, I am going to be just doing a stabilization exercise for my low back, my legs and my glutes. And, Kim is going to be doing a two-handed row working her rhomboids and her deltoids and all the back muscles in the upper back. Kim is going to lay on her back and bend her knees, feet flat and I am going to get into a stable assisting position.
Kim Strother: Ready?
Chris Comfort: And Kim’s rowing. Nice. She’s working her upper back and I’m working my little back, my biceps, glutes. One more, come on. Good. And then right from here, we’re going to go into more rowing movement for me. Now again, because Kim is much lighter than I am, I am going to turn this into a one-handed row. So, feet together. Two more. And, Kim is even getting a little bit of pulling in this one too.
Kim Strother: The next exercise that we’re going to do together is back to back squat. So, this will be working on our glutes, our quads, our hamstrings.
Chris Comfort: The trick with this I think is to kind of put the feet on front and push against each other as much as you are going down and then time your movement together. Ready? Nice and slow. Always pushing against each other enough because if we didn’t have the support, we’d both fall on our butts.
Kim Strother: That would be fun.
Chris Comfort: Keep pushing against me though.
Kim Strother: Ready? Go.
Chris Comfort: This is a really cool exercise for the core. This is a cross job. I took the tall idea from our friend Bryan Winston who did that great towel workout for Ford Videos. Kim, grab the towel like this. Our feet are against each other, kind of a low squat position. She’s going to pull across away from me and I am just going to stop her a little bit and then I am going to come across. And, she’s putting a resistance on it for me.
Kim Strother: The next exercise that we’re going to do are leg throws for your abdominals. So Chris is going to lay down. He’s going to hold my ankles and I’m going to throw his feet forward and he’s going to resist as best as he can until his feet don’t really touch the floor. Also, make sure to try to keep your back flat. You don’t want to arch too much on this exercise to hurt your lower back. We are on some oblique moves here totally to the side and try to confuse him so he doesn’t know that it’s coming.
Chris Comfort: That was weird.
Kim Strother: I know. Oh! You didn’t know where you were going to go.
Chris Comfort: All right. So, this is a great way to have a good time with the workout whether you have just a friend or a girlfriend or boyfriend, it’s a lot of fun. It still gives you a great workout.
Kim Strother: So, you had fun watching. Don’t go looking down my stretch pants now. I’m going to shadow box while I’m back here.
