Here’s another great exercise in my series on PaRe training. This is a new way to challenge your body using only a willing partner. You don’t need any weights or gym memberships which makes the system totally portable. Before you learn how to do any of the PaRe exercises, you might want to skip back and check out my Introduction to PaRe Training and discover a little more first about its origins and some of its benefits.

So how about this, a great adaptation on a traditional leg press exercise using your partner to provide the weight. It’s dead easy to do and there are several ways to make it more or less challenging.

Step One

• Partner One lies on their back
• Knees are bent with feet off the ground
• Back is flat against the floor
• Arms are by the sides

Step Two

• Partner Two faces away from Partner One
• Lowers onto the feet, which are placed on the lower back
• Position feet just above waistline
• Position feet at either side of spine (approx 4-5 inches apart)
