Need Help with Motivation, Get a Workout Partner

Its tough going at it alone. You are more likely to give up on your goals unless you have someone out there to help keep you motivated. People who exercise with someone else are much less likely to blow off a workout if they have someone else waiting for them at the gym. Also when you exercise socially, you take the focus off the task. This will make the workout go by faster.

Another benefit of exercising with others is performance. In 1898, Norman Triplett found that bicyclists were faster when they raced against another rider than if they were riding alone. It turns out we perform better in the presence of others.

Don't have friends who like to exercise? Try working out with the Team in Training, meetup.com, or do an Internet search to find an exercise group/partner.
