Watch: A couple's workout that you can take anywhere around the world

Building a strong relationship as a couple is all about supporting one another, even when times are tough. We're talking about moments when you're holding up a 45-second plank or gritting teeth in between squats. Working up a sweat with your significant other could be the best form of support (be it physical or emotional) and a major motivational boost to achieve the best versions of yourselves. Best versions in the form of a hotter sculpted bod, that is. 

Watch Bryan Tay and Victoria Martin (who are married in real life) from boOm Singapore work up a sweat in a special workout that you can take anywhere — even when you're on vacation. Think flirtatious partner taps and a dynamic trust game that works your gams — this effective sweat sesh will help you burn calories while heating things up between the both of you. Win, win.
