Weekly Tip: The Workout Buddy

A great way to make sure you keep up your exercise regimen is to have a workout buddy!  If you're the type of person who will give yourself excuses to skip the gym, a workout buddy can really help you stick to your plans.  That way, if you try to miss a workout, not only would you be letting yourself down, but you'd be letting your partner down as well, so it helps to keep you accountable.  Your buddy should be someone who encourages you to do your best, but not someone you feel like you're competing with.  They're also the one who drags you out of your house to exercise when all you want to do is sit at home watching TV.  The two of you can keep each other motivated, push each other when you think you've hit your limit, and help each other discover new activities.  I know who my workout buddy is, who's yours?
