Are you trying to achieve your fitness goals and not going anywhere? Have you taken a look at who you are surrounding yourself with? Sometimes to break through those plateaus you need to surround yourself with people who can help push you to the next levels. Below are some tips if you need to ditch your old support group and some tips for finding a new group.
Signs you need a new support group
- Your support group guilt trips you to attending happy hour with them each week
- Your co-workers are always negative and tell you all their drama causing you to miss your lunch workout.
- They encourage you to skip the gym and discourage you from getting a trainer
- They always want to go to an un-healthy restaurants and encourage you to get the worst meal.
A lot of times these "friends" like you the way you are and are afraid for you to change and leave them in the dust. So tell them you will still be the same person you are just making healthier choices for yourself and would appreciate a little support. If they can't do that look for a new support group by following the tips below.
Finding a new support network
- Join a local gym class
- Find a new friend at your local gym
- Find a "friend" from facebook who likes to workout and ask if you can join them
- Go to meetup.com and check out the local fitness classes
- Buy a groupon and go to a speciality class such as yoga, barre fitness to find a new workout buddy
So take a look at your network surrounding you are they pushing you to be a better person or are they de-railing your goals? Only you can truly answer that.
