One of the many ways we get people to exercise is by getting them to come by the gym to be social and I don't mean Twitter or Instagram. Many people enjoy the social aspect
of the gym. Meeting with friends or loved ones can help motivate you to not
only work harder, but also to just show up in the morning, especially when it’s
early and you might not want to roll out of your comfy bed! Your spouse can be a great fitness buddy…but
if they aren’t interested, how can you convince them that a good workout is
beneficial for both your relationship and your health? Well, here a few good
reasons that NEXT LEVEL encourages
you to get your loved ones involved!
-Mood: It’s no
secret that exercise boosts endorphins, putting you in a better mood for your
whole day. Instead of starting the day grumpy about alarms going off and who’s
making the coffee, wouldn’t it be nicer to share the natural high that exercise
gives you? Not to say that you can’t have a cup of coffee, too, but why deny
yourselves the chance to optimize your mood for the entire day, the natural
way?!
-Motivation: When
you know you have an exercise partner, you are more likely to get out of bed
because you feel accountable to
someone else. A workout buddy is a
great motivator, and may help you
keep a more stable regimen than you would otherwise.
-Sharing a hobby: Sharing
a hobby brings you closer together. Everyone is so busy these days, with their
jobs, babies, social activities, and the like, sometimes it’s hard to find
common ground! When you know that you have this one activity you can share
together, you have something fun to talk about, you can even bring a little
friendly competition to the table if you’d like! You can make fitness a fun,
bonding experience!
-Confidence: When
you exercise, you look and feel better about yourself. Confidence in a relationship is important,
no matter how long you’ve been together! Being proud of your accomplishments as
a team only strengthens that confidence, that pride in yourselves. You can’t go
wrong!
It doesn’t matter if you are an advanced fitness fanatic, or
brand new to the exercise scene…NEXT LEVEL welcomes everyone. Bring
your spouse and loved ones in, we are excited to get to know them and help them
through their fitness journeys!
Together, we can change our lives, bodies, and attitudes for
the better!
Wishing you a great, fitness-filled week!
