Nothing could be a better option than setting fitness goals with your friends. Working out with friends helps you stay on track and achieve your fitness goals faster. Plus, it’s a great way to make new friends and have fun while getting in shape. A study shows that when you workout with your friend, your physical, mental, and emotional quality of life improves.
Benefits of setting fitness goals with your friends:
To enjoy all the benefits, you’ll need to exercise with someone who is adventurous to keep you motivated to attempt new things. He will inspire and motivate you to do something new with your workout daily. There are many benefits to working out with friends. Here are some:
1. Exercising with a friend is more enjoyable
When you have a workout partner, especially one who is a best friend or roommate, you are less likely to get bored. While having a laugh, chatting during exercise and encouraging each other, you’re also becoming healthier. It also helps make time fly by during exercise.
So it’s a win-win.
2. Your consistency will improve
Exercising with a friend comes with one more benefit: you don’t want to let your friend down. And it can work wonders as a motivation. When exercising becomes a routine after a few weeks, you’ll both find it less challenging and more likely to stick to your commitment.
3. You will meet your fitness goals together
A workout partner can make a huge difference in your ability to achieve your goal. Studies have shown (let’s take the example of losing weight) that people are more likely to lose weight if their exercise buddy is also losing weight. But remember, it’s not necessary that you only exercise when you want to lose weight. For our health, we should exercise for 5 to 10 minutes every day.
4. You’ll work hard and attempt new things
The secret to maintaining your exercise routine is diversity. Find some interesting ways to exercise that don’t make you feel or seem like exercising! Consider mixing up the usual gym workout routine with other activities and fun exercises like a dance class or cycling.
Mix it up to have more fun and less excuse to quit.
How to achieve fitness goals together:
1. Set fitness goals with your peers
When you have someone to work out with, you’re more likely to stick to your workout routine, especially when that someone is from your office. Because if a coworker became your fitness partner, you would be more motivated to improve your health. As that person is with you for 8–9 hours a day and has the same sedentary lifestyle as you. So, it’s best to have a fitness buddy in your office to reach your fitness goal.
2. Motivate each other
If one of you wants to skip your workout, then the other should try to motivate the other to exercise and persuade them to break out of their comfort zone. You can also cheer each other on in their efforts. When you and your fitness buddy encourage each other, you’ll work harder and get better results. And there’s no harm in a little friendly competition.
3. Set realistic goals and track each other’s progress
It’s important to set goals that are realistic and achievable. Always consider setting SMART goals (specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, and time-bound). This will help to keep you motivated and inspired to continue working towards your fitness goals. Having a measurable fitness goal helps you to track your progress. And it’s essential to track your progress so you can both see how far you’ve come. It helps you to concentrate more on achieving your fitness goal better.
