Abs Workout - Motivate With A Workout Partner

By Jose Loni

What else can motivate us to do ab workouts? Try a workout partner. Doing ab workouts with a workout partner keeps the workout from getting boring, helps us stay on track and has psychological benefits that go beyond the gym.

Our natural tendency to workout more faithfully in the presence of another person lends itself well to having a workout partner. More often than not, we can let ourselves down but not others.

Social support encourages physical activity and a workout partner can help achieve and maintain that goal by providing a gentle coercion. Seeing someone like you doing a physical activity makes you believe you can do it too. The greater our self-confidence doing regular activity, the more motivated we become, which allows us to stay with an exercise program beyond the start-up phase.

Getting motivated with a workout partner is easier because our partner helps the time pass more quickly. Chatting with a companion distracts us from the monotony and physical challenges of the session. So we're more likely to stay on track.

Good partners can help challenge and encourage each other to not skip a session when feeling low and unmotivated. There is no bad day with them.

A workout partner keeps us focused on our goals. If we're having fun working out, then we're going to want to do it more and when we stick with it longer, we get better results in the end. As well, we become more accountable especially in regards to proper eating habits further helping us achieve our goals.

Working out with a friend has the added benefit of allowing us to de-stress. Because we have the opportunity to talk to a friend who will listen, we are able to unburden some of the daily stresses we go through to them.

Get motivated with a workout partner while doing ab workouts. They not only take the boredom out of the routine and keep us on track with our workout goals, but they also help us outside the gym setting by helping us de-stress while we chat and share stories with each other. Let's motivate ourselves with a workout partner - it could be the best abs workout session yet. - 17269
