Part 3
Recruit a workout
partner
One thing is for
sure, accountability works…whether it's in exercise, eating right, or even Bible
study. When I know someone is counting on me, I am more likely to try
hard. I just can’t stand the idea of letting them down. Having a friend to workout with you makes it
easier to get to the trail or the mat or wherever you choose to get your sweat on.
First of all, a
friend will cheer you on when you don't really want to finish. And there are
plenty of times that I didn't want to finish but I kept going simply because someone was watching.
Sometimes a
partner creates a little friendly
competition. There are many
people who thrive on this kind of motivation. If that’s you, use it to get going!
Another thing to
consider... there are so many cool partner workouts on Pinterest and in
fitness magazines that look like so much fun.
I don’t know about you, but I love to try fun new workouts, and how can I do that without a workout buddy?
It’s been proven
time and time again that we become like the people we hang around. So grab hold of a purpose-driven encourager
and lift each other up! God has given me the GRACE to work next to a beautiful
and like-minded friend who encourages me and often joins me in my fitness journey. We coach each other and cheer for each
other. I don’t know what I’d do without
her.
I have also had the
opportunity to work out with an amazing group of ladies at Texas Fit Chicks. I love these ladies of all ages
and fitness levels. And our trainer,
Jessica… well, it would take another post entirely to tell you how much she has
meant to me. If you’re in Texas and have
the opportunity, check out Texas Fit Chicks… the first class is always free.
You will make new
friends, be inspired by real, motivated, hardworking women, and your overall
health will thank you.
Whatever your
workout plan, don’t go alone. My good
friends cheer me on, count on me, and keep me motivated. They inspire me to inspire others.
