<strong>Why</strong> <strong>Working</strong> <strong>Out</strong> <strong>In</strong> A <strong>Group</strong> <strong>Setting</strong> <strong>Is</strong><br />
<strong>Beneficial</strong> <strong>To</strong> <strong>Your</strong> <strong>Health</strong><br />
<strong>Your</strong> workout is among the THREE most important activities you do every day<br />
(along with a good night sleep and healthy eating). It's vital that you make<br />
every moment of exercise count, as exercise is the only thing preventing a<br />
sedentary lifestyle from severely impacting your health. Even if you're a more<br />
active person, exercise is essential to keep you strong and flexible. Do you know<br />
what the hardest part about exercise is? That's right: keeping up with your<br />
workout every consistently! Exercise can be fun, but most of the time it tends to<br />
feels like work—that's why it's called a "work out", right? The problem with this<br />
is that anything that feels like work adds to your stress, and people want to<br />
avoid stress during their "leisure time". When the stress is mounting, the first<br />
thing to go is often the daily workout. But why not work out with friends?<br />
Studies have proven that socialization makes you happier and boosts your<br />
mood. Add to that the mood-boosting benefits of exercise, and all of a sudden<br />
you've got TWICE as much positive incentive to exercise.
<strong>Group</strong> workouts offer three main benefits:<br />
Camaraderie– When working out with others, it's always fun to see each other's<br />
progress and cheer the other people on. The physical exertion bonds you to the<br />
rest of your group, helping to developing a spirit of camaraderie and friendship.<br />
Motivation– Sometimes, we all need a little "kick in the pants" to get past a<br />
rough day or a heavy workload. When working out and training with others, we<br />
get the motivation from them that keep us going. Everyone in the group helps<br />
to lift each other up and provide encouragement on the worst of days.<br />
Accountability– When you've made a commitment to a group of people, it's<br />
much harder to back out of it than it would be if you were doing something<br />
alone. By doing a group training session, you're accountable to each other. If<br />
one person doesn't show up, it's very clear to the group who's actually working<br />
hard. Thus, the positive peer pressure will keep everyone working and training.<br />
