5 Reasons Why Fitness Is Better With Friends
Now more than ever, we are looking for ways to safely socialize with our friends and what better place than the gym?! We're rounding up five benefits to working out with a friend.
😂 FUN & LAUGHTER: Stop dreading workouts and start looking forward to them! Attribute positive emotions to your WOD by laughing and engaging with a friend at the gym. Laughter is known to boost the immune system, increase endorphins and help you live longer, you can't say no to that!
⌚ ACCOUNTABILITY: The key to any successful endeavor is motivation, accountability and celebrating wins. Most importantly, you don't want to let each other down right? Buddy up, set your alarm clocks and show up!
🏁 FRIENDLY COMPETITION: While you're motivating each other, it also doesn't hurt to throw in some friendly competition. You're more likely to bail out of a set early or not kick your workout up a notch when you're alone. Challenge one another to set the bar a little higher!
🚧 SAFETY: While you're reaching for the fitness-stars, your swolemate can help spot you during weight lifting or keep an eye on your form during kettlebell swings and squats.
🤸♀️ MIX IT UP: We could all use a change of scenery and company these days, no offense to our quarantine crew. Take this opportunity to try a new form of fitness together, take a break from Zoom happy hours and work meetings, talk about something new or even learn something new together! Variety is the spice of life, right?
