BENEFITS OF HAVING A WORKOUT PARTNER

Moving onto an important factor that can greatly enhance your progress in pursuit of your fitness goal. one of the biggest mistake that one can do is to set out alone in order to achieve a sculpted physique. Having a partner in gym can go a long way in this respect.

The biggest benefit of exercising with a partner is that you never get fed up with the sometimes monotonous nature of the workout schedule. It's quite unnatural for anyone to be in high spirits all the time. So a training partner can actually push you to not miss workout on such low energy days. Knowing that someone is waiting for you at gym drives many people to not miss their workout.

However a training partner should be such that he provides a lot of energy to your workout, drives you to do one more repetition, makes you run 1 extra min etc. One should choose people as his/her training partner who have similar fitness goals, and are close to your fitness levels. e.g: a pro working out with a beginner wouldn't make much sense, since right from the weights they lift to their fitness regime everything might be like north and south pole.

Arnold Schwarzenegger used to train with Franco Columbo and Dave Draper, both great bodybuilders and participants in Mr. Olympia themselves. Arnold himself has written in his book, The New Encyclopedia of Modern Bodybuilding, that choosing a training partner is a lot like a marriage, and you want to marry somebody who is an addition to your life, who makes it better, not somebody who causes you to say, 'Whew, this marriage stuff. What did I get myself into?"
