4 Pros and Cons Of Getting Fit With Friends …
With exercise evolving everyday you’ll find that working with an exercise buddy or in groups can spice up your workouts and help you succeed with your weight loss at a much faster rate. Not only will having work-out buddies help you enjoy your time at the gym more, but you’ll be inspired to get fit watching each other work out. . But there are some things you need to keep in mind when working out with a partner or group setting.
1. Can Lead To Amazing Results
Exercising in a group can lead to amazing results. If you make an effort to push and motivate each other, then seeing results will come faster than you think.
2. Awesome Support
Being able to be there for one another is important because if one person from the group lacks a certain skill or isn’t as conditioned as other participants, then that person will need your help to continue on and vice versa.
3. Be Picky Of Who You Choose
Sometimes weight loss success does come with a catch…unfortunately. Especially in a group setting, if one person is seeing more results than another, then this might cause a jealous feud to begin. Frustration will kick in because one person might think that she’s putting in the same time and effort with no, or little results.
This is why picking and choosing who you work with is very important. If the group understands that everyone’s body is different and will react differently to different exercises, then it shouldn’t be a problem. Take your time and choose your exercise companions with care.
4. Ditch Negative People
The last thing you want to do is have a super negative person join you and suck your energy, enthusiasm and health straight down the drain. It’ a good idea to workout with women who share similar goals, this way you can all be on the same page and progress at the same rate.
In the end more and more women are pairing up, or even forming an exercise group to get through their workouts. It’s a great motivational strategy to keep you on track and achieve your goals at a much faster rate than if you did it alone.
So if you’re stuck in a rut with your exercise routines grab a friend to help you skyrocket your fitness to the next level.

Ouch! That can’t be fun. And the worst part is neither of you are at fault. I mean I get why she’s bummed out. It’s just a wee bit unfair that she probably ... See more puts in as much effort and doesn’t see the same results. Sure, everyone has different body types and all that. At the same time, I also feel bad for the rest of you. Why should you have to suffer just because she isn’t seeing results. That’s a tough situation!

1) OPPOSITES: We have complete different morphologies being a man and a woman, therefore our expectations/ goals are different and do not conflict with each ... See more other or create jealousy.
2) MOTIVATION: While we may have different hobbies (squash vs. horse-riding), we motivate each other to do the “hard work”, the weight-lifting. We use the same equipment with different weights and take turns. This ensures no excuses and constant encouragement.
3) SEXY: We want to look good for each other… he wants a flater belly and more defined muscles, I want stronger legs and buttocks. It is exciting to work hard to maintain the looks that attracted us to each other in the first place!
4)QUALITY TIME: this is a common activity that forces us to take time aside in the evening and avoid us ending our day like “couch potatoes”!
The key to succeeding working out as a couple though is for both parties to ensure they have utmost tolerance for each other’s different habits, and encourage each other in LOVE, NO NAGGING!!
Example: it is not fair I can eat strawberry pie and chocolate (in small quantity) and not gain wait, while my husband has to dedicate his complete lifestyle to the complement the exercise routine…
That is OK, he is the CON:
1) Can lead to frustration – “How come Stephanie keeps loosing weight ... See more but I’m turning into a beached walrus?”
2) Underhanded Compliments – “You look amazing, you only have 40 more pounds to loose before you look normal.”
3) Reward only success, Punish failure – “We’re thin, You’re still fat! GET OUT!”
4) Promote Cliques – “This club is only for thin people that take working out seriously. No fatties allow.”
