Don’t go it alone because there’s strength in numbers. 
I want to encourage you to find a ‘fitness family’ so that you can reap the benefits like these studies suggest:
One study found that 95% of those who started a weight-loss program with friends completed the program, compared to a 76% completion rate for those who tackled the program alone. The friend group was also 42% more likely to maintain their weight loss.
There is something called the Köhler Effect… this is the idea that no one wants to be the weakest link in a group setting. When it comes to fitness, this translates to pushing yourself harder when working out with people who are fitter than you.
A study published in the Journal of Social Sciences found that participants gravitate towards the exercise behaviors of those around them.
A 2016 study published in the journal Obesity found that overweight people tend to lose more weight if they spend time with their fit friends — the more time they spend together, the more weight they lose…
Other studies confirm that working out with a partner significantly increases time spent exercising.
Researchers at Kansas State University found that people who exercised with someone they thought was better than them increased their workout time & intensity by 200%.
So, do you have someone to lean on?
If you’re after sustainable results, find the support you need in a fitness family like at my local fitness boot camp in Calgary, my online community or with private coaching…Just hit reply to this email and I’ll get back to you with how you can benefit from my community and my support.
A good place to start is with this questionnaire.
