The Doctors: Find A Workout Partner

Dr. Travis Stork explained that exercising with a partner may help keep you motivated and give you the support you need to stick to your goals. When choosing a workout partner, team up with someone slightly stronger than you. Research suggests that working out with someone you perceive as moderately more capable, may make you work out twice as hard.

You can also try joining an exercise group or starting your own. Local boot camp workouts and charity runs can be a great way to connect with people that share similar exercise styles.
