bit better. It's probably been a while since you've had to use the buddy system, but if

you're one of the millions of people who want to exercise but just can't find the motivation,

the buddy system might be for you. Who wants to bail on a friend? Research shows that people

who attend group classes are more likely to exercise regularly than people who work out

alone. And it makes perfect sense. Group classes provide a structured, scheduled environment

for your workout routine. Classes are full of likeminded people who provide pressure

by proxy- you inadvertently keep each other honest by showing up regularly, even though

you may not even know each other. They start and end at a set time, prompting you to get

there, get it done and get out. Types of group classes are also so diverse these days that

you'll have the opportunity to get varied workouts in and you won't get bored. And best

of all, the presence of trained professionals to guide you helps ensure you're getting the

best workout. So remember: If you're ready to exercise but lack of motivation is getting

in your way, find a friend or try a group class. When you start feeling motivated and

excited by your workouts, you'll definitely feel a little bit better.
