A recent study has revealed that people that workout with a partner lose more weight than those that workout alone. However, this only really works for women who workout with a friend.
On average a women will lose 10 pounds (4.5kg) more if they exercise and diet with a female friend. 20% of women that exercise alone do not lose any weight at all.
A study was carried out which examined the exercise and dietary habits of 3000 women. A staggering 61% of these women hardly ever did any exercise at all by themselves, but they were more likely to exercise with friends.
Women also become competitive when exercising with friends so push themselves harder than they would if exercising alone. One of the best ways to workout with a friend or partner is to do circuit training workouts together. Or if you are feeling really brave then get some gloves and pads and do some boxing workouts which will bring out the competitive spirit in you and get your heart thumping and your fat burning systems fired up.
Women are at an advantage because they are naturally more social than men. When women are exercising with friends they consider it as much of a social experience than exercise. They essentially forget that it is all hard work and enjoy the time exercising.
The effect of exercising with a friend is like a psychological push (pushing is one of the 8 secrets of successful weight loss). Also when exercising with a friend or partner you become more focussed as you are less likely to become distracted.
70% of women that exercise with friends admit that exercise seems more like fun than work. Many do talk too much during a workout and fail to workout at maximum intensity though.
People that workout with their partner are also more successful in weight loss. If you are interested in finding new ways to workout with your partner or friends then we recommend that you look at the Great Shape Up Program which provides an excellent gym workout to help you lose weight and tone up.
