We are pumped to share one of our fave stories from Self here on FitSugar! You may be trying hard to get regular exercise and make healthy food choices , but if you don’t have like-minded friends, this can be pretty tough. “Working out by yourself can be pretty difficult. I highly recommend finding a workout partner to maximize your program,” exercise physiologist Tom Holland says in his new book Beat the Gym: Personal Trainer Secrets Without the Personal Trainer Price Tag .

The days she feels like skipping, you will get her to the gym. When you want to give up completely, she will talk you into sticking with your plan. They serve as spotters. The bench press. Squats. Your partner can help spot you, keeping your

workouts safer yet more challenging at the same time. They increase your exercise arsenal. There are numerous strength moves you can do with your partner, like crunches with a medicine ball, partner pushups and leg tosses. These are fun and very effective. They provide companionship. Working out can be lonely, especially long cardio sessions. Having a friend next to you to talk with while you slave away on the elliptical can make the time fly by. They provide competition. Let’s be honest: We as human beings like to compete with one another. Try finding a workout partner who is just a little fitter, just a little stronger than you are. By trying to keep up with them, you will challenge yourself in ways that you cannot do alone. Looking for a new workout buddy? Check out a few ways to find one after the break!
