POWER IN NUMBERS

Why do something difficult alone when you can recruit a friend to join with you?  This is one of the best ways to make sure you are following through on your goals.  Whether it's fitness, family, or work goals, having a friend join you will have its benefits.

BENEFITS OF ADDING FRIENDS TO YOUR GOALS

• Motivation - You can motivate each other with positive feedback.
• Friendly competition - sometimes, seeing someone else improving or working hard towards a goal will help give you a little extra motivation to work harder.  You can challenge each other to  meet small goals (run a faster mile, one or two more repetitions on an exercise, who can be more consistent)
• Accountability - it's a lot easier to get out of bed in the morning and getting to work or the gym when you know your friend will be there waiting for you.
• Ideas - The two of you can share ideas on how to get closer to your goals.  Whether it's with nutrition, exercise, work related, general knowledge, a fresh set of ears and eyes can help you see things in new ways.
• Fun - Let's face it, adding a friend can make just about anything fun.
