Healthy Habits, Month 6: Workout with a Partner 

Staying physical can be hard! If you feel discouraged or bored, it’s time to find a workout buddy! This month, we challenge you to reach out to someone who can hold you accountable and help you be 1% better, every day. 

Working out with a friend is a great way to keep you invested in fitness. A buddy can help motivate you and keep you on track. Lack of fitness knowledge and fear of embarrassment tends to keep people from trying new workouts. It’s easy to try new fitness activities when you have a buddy! 

This month, try to motivate each other, try fun buddy workouts, and learn from your partner’s health journey. For inspiration on workouts for two, check out these videos from YMCA 360!

Bringing a buddy to a fitness class, to the gym, or just on a walk ensures that you show up. Accountability is a great factor when it comes to building healthy habits. It helps to have someone there to motivate you, push you, and keep you from quitting.Learning from each other’s health journeys can help you find what works best for you! 

Make sure you use the attached tracker this month to mark when you and your buddy held each other accountable!
