Join a Group

Although some people like to exercise alone, others prefer groups. For these, group cohesion may be an incentive to get out and exercise. If you can, join with friends, and you will be more likely to show up to not disappoint them.

You can find community based fitness groups at health clinics, adult school, or parks and recreation department. Or you may want to join walking, running, or cycling clubs, masters swim team, or basketball, softball, bowling, or golf leagues. Your local sporting goods store may know where to find a team to join. If you want to lose weight, a weight loss support group may be just what you need to succeed.
