Grab a Friend!

Sometimes we all need a little push to get us up and going.  I've been sick the last few weeks so I'm just getting back to the gym now and motivating myself is definitely not easy.  So today, to force myself out of my bed, I have a friend joining me at the gym.  We both decided we're going to make each other workout for an hour and then reward ourselves with some frozen yogurt after!
We also thought we'd have a little competition with one another today.  We're going to get on the treadmill first and see who can run farther in 25 minutes and then we're going to use the ellipticals and see who can get farther on that for 20 minutes.  I know it sounds lame, but it gets the job done, and the loser buys frozen yogurt for the winner... so it's TOTALLY worth it!
Another fun way to workout with your friends is by taking some classes.  Spin classes can be great, or my personal favorite, Zumba classes, can be a really fun activity to participate in with your friends.  Once it gets nicer out I'll end up going on nice jogs with my friends too!  All in all, working out can be easier and more fun with some company!
