Exercising with a friend promotes positive peer pressure. You and your friend can set fitness goals and help push each other to achieve them.

Be realistic with yourself and your goals, knowing that change takes time. Stick to your exercise routine and you will be happily surprised at the speed, flexibility and strength that working out provides.
