You and Your Workout Buddy

   Are you having trouble getting started on your fitness program? Accountability is one key that might help you  when trying to establish an exercise routine. 

Accountability is answering to someone or something if you don’t follow through. Who can you get to hold you accountable?  Mutual support from an exercise buddy might help you keep going on those days when "something came up" or you just don't feel like exercising.

Accountability gets you past the “I-don’t-feel like-doing-this” hump. Stick with it, however, and before long the next phase kicks in—emotional reasons to keep exercising.  Once you develop or decide upon strong enough reasons and almost anything is possible.

Invite a friend to be your fitness buddy. Someone you won't want to say 'No' to! Get out there and enjoy the outdoors every day if you can. Try a variety of workouts - riding bikes, swimming, or tennis. Walking is free. And running will only set you back the price of a decent pair of running shoes! ( Try New Balance - they still make some of their excellent  shoes in the good old USA )

Enjoy your journey to better fitness and a better life!
