"Exercise with your very best friend," says LIVESTRONG.COM Community member steffik1. "Every day I walk with my best friend for 60 to 90 minutes, but because we are chatting and walking it feels like five minutes! So you get to exercise and spend time with your bestie." In fact, research has revealed that people train harder with a friend, especially someone that you deem as especially fit. Alternatively, make some new healthy friends like community member BeachGurlz does. "A great way to improve your chances for regular exercise is by joining a group. Earlier this year I also joined a running group, despite of the fact I'm awesomely slow," says BeachGurlz. "Having a large(ish) group means there's always someone there to chat with ahead of time and to celebrate with afterward. There are folks there to compare notes with, and you're not dependent upon a single partner who may or may not opt to show up." Ditto for Irishgirl71, who says, "I joined a running group and made some amazing new friends."
