When you walk into a gym wants the first thing you see? Well when an individual walks into a weight room their eyes always focus on who's in the weight room and if that particular machine they want to use is available. When we get the machine that we want we find ourselves working hard to see that people see us working and not just being in the weight. At times we catch ourselves wanting to get off our weight lose machine or muscle building instrument, because we feel as if we aren't working hard enough. As a result we tend to go on a different machine, but something is missing and we don't feel like we should be working out. This is because we aren't motivated and without motivation we'll find ourselves leaving the weight room early and not producing the amount of work that our muscles want and need. When we workout we need to push our muscles to the next level and at times we can't do that on our own and a workout partner needs to be present. FitnessHealth stated that, "working out with a committed partner is that the partner will motivate you to work out more often. In addition, a training partner will typically push you to work harder." By having a good workout partner that will motivate you, will bring the best out of what you think is nothing. In any situation in life we need someone their to motivate us to keep going, because our mind, body, and faith can't bring us to the promise land it takes someone motivating us. When we go to church the pastors or assistant pastors are our motivators. When we're on a sports team and/or competitive sport our teammates and coaches are our motivation. We can't live this life of ours with motivation or something or someone pushing us to do better so we can be better. When we go into a weight room our mind should be on working out and pushing our muscles to the limit, because the weight room isn't a game. We should be fully motivated entering the weight room, but we should also have a partner to push us to a place we haven't been so we can truly know what it means to workout. A partner brings motivation and the energy to stand on top of the mountain knowing we did all we could.http://www.fitnesshealth101.com/fitness/general/getting-started/benefits-of-workout-partner
Motivation is a key component in most things that we do in life. Having the right partner helps us reach our goal. I keep saying that I'm going to workout tomorrow but I never do. My friend said the same thing so we have made plans to workout together after Christmas.
ReplyDeleteA partner bring motivation and a motivator can bring us to places we've never imagine. The only problem is finding a dedicated partner so we can get better
DeleteI have struggled off and on with finding a good work out partner the whole time I've been here! It's mainly because schedules don't work and then there is the homework (like our lovely U.S. Schools class). I do have a question though, since you are the health expert...if you are trying to lose say 25 pounds in a reasonable amount of time, how long should you work out in the gym if you don't change much about your diet? I know a lot of weight gain is due to poor eating habits, but I was curious.
ReplyDeleteThe hardest thing to do honestly is finding a good workout partner, but at times this shouldn't be a friend. The best thing to do is finding someone in the weight room that works out on a regular basis, because that person you know is always there at the same time. Working out takes a lot of work and takes a motivated mind, and if you're not good with both well you'll find yourself slipping further and further away from your goal. Also in the person isn't committed to anything in their lives they won't be committed to working out. So make an analysis about that person to find out where their motives are, and their goals so you can know if they're highly motivated.
ReplyDeleteI agree that working out with a partner is motivating and its also safe. Every time I work out I try to have a partner because it allows me to push my self to a maximum limit. When I'm by myself I can't do it because I have no spotter and that can be dangerous.Having a partner is not only motivating but its allows for safety and competition which all leads to Great Workout!

ReplyDeleteI often see people working out by themselves and they want to get stronger or even improve in a area their lacking in, but they'll never try to find help. A partner allows us to imagine things we haven't imagined and if we want we can challenge them to make them better as well.
DeleteIt's interesting that you suggest somebody that is not your best friend to be a workout buddy, I would have thought the opposite. Great post!
ReplyDeleteThe reason i stated that a person shouldn't have a friend working out with them, because sometimes friends can't push you to the max. If you make a friend in the weight room thats consistent then try something new since you're doing something new
