How many of you plan to lose weight and get fitter as one of your New Year's Resolutions? Well, if fitness is on your list, you're certainly not alone. Studies show that getting fit is second only to saving money on the top-ten list of New Year's Resolutions, with more than 45% of people planning to improve their health and fitness at the start of the year.
Sadly, 73% of that number gradually lose enthusiasm and go back to their old ways. But your chances of sticking with your new fitness regime are much better if you workout with a partner.
"It takes two", as they say, and that's certainly true when it comes to exercising. Having someone there to support you, push you, and maybe even compete with you, can light up your workouts.
When you're lifting, you've got a ready-made spotter and motivator to help you finish that final rep. If you're running, biking, or doing any kind of aerobic activity, having a partner alongside you can help you to keep going, and it's a great opportunity for a chat. Plus, being accountable to someone else can save you from yourself, on those rare occasions when you're tempted to skip your workout.
Working out with your significant other is also an excellent bonding experience; creating a shared interest that can be great for your relationship.
To help you and your partner keep track of your workouts and achieve your fitness goals, we've created the New Year, New You Workout Journal, designed especially for couples.
The journal features:
- Space for each of you to log your warm-up activities; whether that's a gentle stretch or something more vigorous.
- A section for your lung-busting cardio workouts, with room to note the distance each of you covered and the time taken to meet your goals.
- A section for strength training, where you and your workout partner can log the exercises, weight, and the number of reps and sets each of you complete during your sessions.
- A weekly bodyweight tracker section, so you know how much weight each of you has lost or gained since the last session. The scales, like the camera, don't lie.
- Notes pages for those random thoughts about exercise or life that sometimes pop up when you're working out.
The New Year, New You: Couples Workout Journal is an accountability notebook for you and your partner.
Use it to log your achievements during or after each workout. Or use it between workouts to set goals for your next session. With the New Year, New You: Couples Workout Journal, you can organize your workouts and compare notes on your progress and goals.
So, help your New Year's Resolution come true this year by ordering the New Year: New You: Couples Workout Journal. It's made for sharing.
