Squat with Rotational Pass
Make sure to get a medicine ball or kettlebell. Stand back to back and then both squat. The first person should hold the ball at their chest, then rotate round to the left or right to then pass the kettlebell onto your gym buddy. They will then rotate 180◦ to pass back to you.

Sit Up Pass
Look at each other face to face. Knees bent and feet flat on the floor opposite each other. Lie with your back on the mat with the medicine ball on your chest. Then lift yourself, contracting your abs and lifting the medicine ball. At the same time, your gym buddy/valentine will lift themselves using their core to complete the same action. Then pass the ball over to them. Then lower yourself to the floor.
