Now that the weather is turning to the colder side, you need to keep your foot on that pedal. So many of us pike out in the cold so my suggestion is to buddy up.
Is there someone in your life who wants to change his or her life and get healthy? Do you have a friend, coworker, or relative with similar goals whose company you enjoy? Misery loves company, but so do strength and resolve.
Remember the buddy system works...you create a support system and hold one another accountable. Whether at home or in the gym, having the right person (or group of people) to share your frustrations and progress with is one hell of a motivator.
Without a doubt, pairing up has its advantages. Say you've been talking forever about taking up some challenge be it a new class or just getting stuck into the challenges we have set for you here.killer Your friend has agreed to try it out with you, and you've both put it on your calendars. The day of the class comes — and it's raining, work was awful, and you just do not want to go. Well, TOO BAD! You made a promise to someone. Working out with a partner is accountability at its best. If someone else is depending on you, it's that much harder to blow it off.
If working out regularly is a big change for you, the more you can stack the deck in your favour, the better. Having a familiar face nearby and knowing that person is feeling the burn right along with you can be just the trick to help you stick with it. That support can be an incredible motivator.
Good luck! Let us know how you go.
