Fitness Bootcamp – Guarantee Success By Double Dating

Did you know that you are much more likely to be successful if you join a fitness bootcamp with a friend. Not only will both of you benefit from the group bonding experience that tends to happen at these type of fitness programs but you will also be more likely to attend the classes as you wont let your friend down. But the benefits can last long after the bootcamp has finished.

You are more likely to keep hold of the determined attitude if you have someone to remind you of exactly why you went to bootcamp and what you achieved while you were there. Everyone has days where they think they are the fattest whale on the planet and having a friend you trust who you can confide in and who will listen and help you to feel better is priceless. She is not going to lie to you and tell you that you are fine the way you are if you do need to lose a few extra pounds.

Try a charity run instead

If you don’t want to attend fitness bootcamp, you and your friend could sign up for a charity run instead. This is a great way to raise money for a good cause but also to get fit and lose weight. With other people depending on you, you are less likely to back out of your training program. Training for a charity run can be tough going so it is much easier to share the experience with someone else. You can each motivate the other.

You could add a slightly competitive edge to your friendship by betting that whoever raises the most cash will be treated to dinner. Or you could go even further and link the cash you potentially raise to the weight you lose. That gives you an incentive to shed more pounds and will help raise more money for the charity. Pick a charity close to your heart for even more motivation.

Sharing fitness sessions with a friend means a date you cannot break

When you have committed to training with a friend be it at fitness bootcamp, running for a charity event etc you are less likely to come up with excuses to miss the training. You cannot get delayed at work or lie on your bed because you are tired when you know someone else is waiting for you to show up.

So why not get your friends together now and decide who is going to team up and get fit. If it is works for Heidi Slum and Kim Kardashian to go jogging together it can work for you and your mates too. And think of all the fun you will have going shopping for new outfits when you have both lost a dress size or two!
