44/365 Better with a Buddy

Friends and Fitness Enthusiasts,

Two is better than one right? We humans are social creatures. It is necessary for us to have those precious people in our lives with whom we share ourselves. As I was walking around campus, I spotted two friends walking together from a group exercise class. I was clearly inspired.

Finding a friend (or two) to work out with will really help you stay motivated. If you're not feeling it, you'll have your buddy to drag you out for a run. Maybe your buddy isn't feeling it. You'll get to be their impetus. You can keep each other motivated in and out of the gym. It's nice to have someone keeping you in check when you get an extra helping of dessert or if you forget to hydrate after a long day. You're also there to affirm one another's efforts. Perhaps after you've completed a fitness goal, you can reward yourselves with a non-gym friend date.

Grab a buddy and work it out. It's a lot more fun and you'll both greatly benefit.

In health,

Lauren
