Consider grabbing a friend and heading to a local tennis court to play. All you’ll need to get started is a tennis racket, balls, and some comfortable shoes.
Doing cardio on your own can be tedious especially, because movements such as running, cycling, and swimming can feel so monotonous. By joining a running or walking group, you can get in the steps you need while enjoying some fresh air and good conversation.
If you love music or dancing at parties, then why not make it part of your exercise routine? Dancing is an excellent way to keep fit while joining a dance class enables you to meet a whole group of new friends. From hip-hop to waltz, tango, and cha-cha, there are plenty of dance styles to suit all tastes.

]]>Next, you’ll do 2 push ups followed by a rest.
You’ll keep going, 3, 4, 5, 6… until you’ve reached the top of the pyramid. For the first pyramid, you could go to level 6, or level 10 and then go back down. Level 20 is a huge goal to reach later on.
Now that you’re at the top there’s only one way to go, back down. Begin with the largest number of push-ups and rest, going back down in numbers until you reach the bottom of the pyramid.
As you build stamina, you can up the size of your pyramid and go to 12 or 20, or even 30 if you get really good!
You can try it with friends, or maybe it’s time for a vacation to Cambodia!

]]>Working out with a partner is a great motivator. You’re a lot less likely to hit snooze when you have someone waiting for you to take that dawn run together. However, even just having support in the form a friend or family member who will encourageย you means you’ll have more incentives to keep up with your training, to give them and you a lot to be proud of.
A bit of friendly competition can also be a big boost to your drive to exercise. A report from the University of Pennsylvania Annenberg School for Communication has shown that healthy social competition and support on social media platforms motivates people to work out more often and longer.
So, even if the full-on team sports experience is not for you, you can use social media to find a group with similar fitness interests and goals that align with yours. Getting virtual high-fives for attending your weekly fitness session can be almost as good as the real thing when it comes to spurring you on to meet your exercise goals.
If your exercise focus is entirely on the mirror or the scale, it makes it easy to give up. A few weeks where the scale doesn’t drop and many will throw up their hands in defeat trade their hand weights for a milkshake.
Instead, try setting small goals that are more about what your body can do rather than what it looks like. Instead of “I want Michelle Pfieffer arms,” try “I want to be able to move up to lifting 20-pound free weights by the end of next month.”
Keep a fitness journal to write down your goals and track your progress; having a concrete way to see your progress can motivate you to keep moving forward.

Your workout buddy doubles as a spotter. Trying to lift heavier weights? Your friend can watch out for you and provide assistance.
Want to explore the new pilates class but afraid to go in solo? Go with your buddy and feel awkward together.
See all those workout buddy Instagram videos where two girls throw a medicine ball back and forth? Now you can try it with your friend for a more dynamic workout experience.
If you’re sore the next day, at least you have company! Complain, then plan your next gym visit.
