Finding a fitness buddy can help make your weight loss journey easier. This person should hold you accountable for nutrition and exercise, be there to support you when you are weak and cheers for you when you succeed. So what are some perks for finding a fitness buddy? First of all it makes workouts more fun because you are socializing. Also it cuts out boredom. If you’re competitive, you might end up competing against each other (within reason). Another perk is that you will push each other to workout on days when one of you doesn’t want to. Workout buddies aren’t essential to fitness but improve the experience.
