Having a buddy to workout with will seriously improve your
output in the gym. For many of us, we
jump into the same comfortable routine; maybe a little cardio, few lower and
upper body exercises and call it a day.
But what if you were challenged harder, held accountable to a set
schedule, and even tried new exercises?
There would be a huge chance that you would exceed your fitness goals a
lot faster!
Steps and tips to your successful
buddy system:
·
Finding the right buddy: It can be a challenge
to find a friend or co-worker who is willing to commit to a long-term fitness
schedule, but it will definitely go a long way when you do. Your
buddy should also have virtually the same goals as you, that way you can put
your focus on the same regimen.
·
The “Chatty-Cathys”:
Make sure your buddy isn’t signed-on for social hour!
·
Agree to a 6-8 week program, and write down in
your planner/schedule the times and days you plan to meet. Having the sessions written in your weekly
planner will allow you fit in the workouts and plan ahead for them.
·
Motivation and encouragement: Some days exercise will be the last thing you
may want to be doing, but keep up the excitement! Don’t let either partner miss a day!
·
The most effective and safest program for
you: Have no idea where to start when it
comes to exercising? Find accountable
resources, such as a Personal Trainer (they make great buddies too!). Hiring a Personal Trainer will get you and
your buddy on the right path and set a routine. The Upper Valley Aquatic Center offers group
personal training at an affordable price! Check it out for yourself at www.uvac-swim/fitness.com
·
Be there for your buddy! The best part about the buddy system is that
you always have someone there pushing you to dig deep and keep increasing your
output!
