The Benefits of a Workout Partner



                              

Exercising can of course be fun, but also challenging. Some people prefer to workout alone, but many would enjoy having a workout partner. Adding a partner or group of people to your workout regimen holds several benefits. 


**Having someone to workout with you can bring motivation and determination, which can be a vital key to your progress. Sometimes, a person may be willing to workout but they might not stick to the routine. So, that person is your accountability to ensure that you don't skip workouts or that you finish the whole workout.

**Competition. I even feel my competitive spirit come out quite a bit! When you have someone next to you doing the same exercise, you may feel the need to pump the weights harder, run faster, or do one more pull up. You and your partner/group can set goals and work together to achieve them. Also, you may stick to your diet much better. Setting healthy eating lunch or dinner dates can also be fun!

**If your partner comes up with new activities such as a boot camp class or a yoga and pilates class, it would be a great idea to switch it up and experience more ways to workout. Zumba is an excellent intense cardio class that is fun, engaging, and burns plenty of calories!

**Hopefully if you have a reliable, non lazy workout buddy, he or she won't let you quit. You will never get to your ultimate goal if you quit! You and your partner(s) should drive each other to guarantee results.
