Now imagine not only sharing the idea – but the task itself with another person. For many, a partner makes all the difference and can be the catalyst for (finally) sticking with it.
While your focus may be on stronger bodies, you and your workout partner just might strengthen your relationship too. You will probably get to see some of the same benefits and improvements – higher energy levels, getting stronger, losing some weight, learning about fitness – while overcoming shared obstacles, which can absolutely be a bonding experience.
A little healthy competition can be a good thing too; your partner doing an exercise that you didn’t think you could do or going for two extra reps just might inspire you to do the same.
Finally, having someone to laugh (or commiserate!) with will absolutely make the process more fun which also increases the chances you’ll show up consistently and give it your all.
