Are you having a hard time to motivate yourself to exercise?
By Carolin
Exercising together with someone else is a great motivator.
Playing tennis together or simply having an appointment at the fitness club.
However, sometimes it’s not very practical. You might have different schedules; it might be hard to find time to go to the fitness club, etc.
A great way to get the motivation of exercising together but still doing it in your own time is to set up a walking competition. It is very simple. Just get some friends together (as many as you like), set a goal, use a pedometer and start walking. Your goal can for example be to walk the most in a month or to walk the distance to China. Everyone uses their pedometers and record on a daily basis how many steps they take. If you all pitch in with a couple of dollars the winner can get a nice price. It’s fun and all you need is a pedometer . It’s a great thing to do with a couple of colleagues. You can get the distance between cities here.
