Buddy Up For Fat-Burning Success

Your goal is to drop some weight. How about losing twice as much weight as you normally would during a year?

Too good to be true? It’s not! All you need is a buddy.

Studies have found that those folks who have a successful partner in weight loss dropped twice as many pounds after one year versus those folks who dieted solo.

Another buddy bonus? The support doesn’t have to be face-to-face. You can find someone online, across your neighborhood or in an entirely different state as a weight loss buddy.

But, if you're lucky enough to have a pal who lives close-by ask them to not only be your partner in watching your weight, but to also join you in the gym.

At PEAK Strength & Conditioning CLUB, we have lots of one-on-one clients who work solo with their training. But we also have clients who bring along a training partner. And those clients work off their friend, as well as off the motivation given by their trainer.

I'm a big believer that you've got to be committed to your program. What's more commitment-inducing than having to answer to a friend when you feel like bailing on a workout? By joining forces with a pal, you'll be less likely to skip out on your buddy and your gym time.

So, ask around, find a friend that's got a great attitude and you'll be set up for some serious fat-busting and muscle-toning success.

Yours in health,

Joe
