Exercising with a friend is much easier than exercising alone.

There are several reasons for this.

• We are social creatures
• We are meant to be with others
• We are meant to move

Exercising with a friend is much easier than exercising alone.

• When I exercise with a friend I'm engaging in life on many levels, it social, it's supportive, and a great distraction for the hard work of exercise.

Exercising with a friend is much easier than exercising alone.

• When we make plans with a friend we are much more likely to follow through.
• When we know our friend is waiting for us we'll drop all the other urgent stuff and keep our plans with a friend.
• We'll make it happen.

Exercising with a friend is much easier than exercising alone.

• When we exercise with a friend we are more likely to do the exercise we planned, we usually don't cut it short, or lose steam, our friends lift us up…we lift up our friends.

• Friends help us smile
• Friends help us feel not so alone
• Friends remind us we are worthy of this whole exercise and health thing.
