Remember when you were little and the Buddy System seemed silly when going to the bathroom or on a walk through the woods? Well, it's really not that silly when you think about it. Having a buddy along gives you someone to share your time with, to talk to, and to help keep you going. Having a buddy can take the focus off the strenuousness of the exercise and make it more fun and before you know it, you're done. Get a buddy!220
When you have a buddy to work out with do realize how much further you are willing to go because you do not want to let them down and the same follows for your buddy. What can I say the buddy system works for many things.
The buddy system works! My sister is my buddy and we call each other to modivate each other and keep ourselves on track of our goals...we also like to work-out together...Encouragement is really important in staying positive on those crappy days when all you want to do is eat, eat, eat.
