You Need A Workout Buddy?

Hi! Be Fit survivor Dave here.

I thought I would take a moment to write about the importance of a workout buddy...

For me working out is a real drag. It takes a lot for me to get motivated to go to the gym on a daily basis. In fact, if it weren't for my Be Fit survivor bracelet, I would have fallen off the wagon a long time ago. Whenever I don't want to go to the gym, I just look at that and remember where I was before Be Fit and where I am now and where I want to be and that gets me motivated.

I go to the gym with or without my buddy but I always have more fun WITH my buddy. When I'm with my buddy it doesn't seem like a workout. My buddy also keeps me honest, if I have to do 20 reps she won't let me stop at 19 - she pushes me to do one more - as I do her. We also watch out to make sure we are performing the exercises right - a curl is a curl not a half curl or anything like that. We each also learn new exercises and teach one another, adding to our workouts.

It also helps us in getting to the gym because we make a plan and you have to show up or else your buddy will be just a little miffed! (And we don't want to do that to one another!)

So, if you hate going to the gym and have not worked out with a buddy, I suggest you get a buddy and start working out together. It makes it go by quickly and more fun is had. If you need a buddy feel free to hit me up through the blog or at the gym. I'll/we'll workout with anyone who is serious about getting fit.

Good luck!
