3. Find Your friends to help you achieve fitness and wellness goals
Once you have planned out your schedule, recruit a different friend for each activity.
A running partner with a similar pace, a fellow yogi, and a friend that enjoys lifting weights as much as you do keeps the conversation fresh and camaraderie high.
In addition to workouts with friends, remember to take time for yourself. Devoting a day or two for a solo workout also has its perks. This is the perfect time to collect your thoughts, enjoy new music or catch up on an audiobook.
4. Keep a journal to track your fitness and wellness activities
Journaling has benefits beyond tracking your exercise progress.
