Train with people better than you

I've recently started training more with people who are fitter and stronger than me, and I've seen brilliant progress.

Here are a few compelling reasons why training like this is a game-changer:

Accountability- When you have a workout buddy counting on you, it's much harder to skip a session. You'll be less likely to hit that snooze button when your friends are waiting for you at the gym or park.

Motivation- Seeing people tackle challenging exercises and push their limits can be a tremendous motivator. Share your progress, celebrate each other's victories, and watch your determination soar.

Fun and social connection-Training with others makes workouts a social event. It's not just about reps and sets, it's about connecting, having fun, and building stronger bonds.

Healthy competition- A friendly competition can push you to work harder and surpass your personal records. Challenge each other to set new benchmarks and strive for progress together.

Safety and support- Having someone by your side can be a safety net, especially when trying new exercises or lifting heavier weights. Plus, your workout partner is there to spot you, offering valuable support during intense sessions.

Variety- Training with others with their own programmes can inject variety into your routine. You can try new workouts, sports, or activities together, keeping things fresh and exciting.

Accountability for nutrition- It's not just about training, partners can help you stay on track with your nutrition goals. Share healthy recipes, meal prep tips, and keep each other in check.
