Do you push yourself harder when you’re working out with a partner or in a group class? Working out with someone else can increase your motivation and accountability, making it more likely that you’ll stick to your fitness goals. It also helps you feel connected and like you belong. For the time being, group workouts may not be an option due to the coronavirus, but here are five ways to get group workout benefits virtually.
Partner Workout
Do a partner workout with a friend or family member and stir up some friendly competition to help you complete the workout.
Online Workout Class
It’s the closest thing to in-person classes and just knowing others are working out with you can increase your motivation to push yourself.
Workout Challenge
Compete with a friend or family member in an organized challenge through an app or make your own. Try and come up with an amount of miles to run in a month and make sure to share your progress with your workout buddies.
Online Group
Join a Facebook group with others who share similar fitness interests and goals to you. Push each other while sharing your workout routines.
Compete With Yourself
Record your personal records in a journal and try and beat your best.
