How do you stay motivated if you don’t have an exercise buddy?

I try to remain focused on my body goals, the difference in my mood when I exercise and pay attention to the differences I have from exercising. I also have a image on my lock screen of myself when I was most confident with my body or a famous person (Serena Williams) who is my body goals.

I think the most important choice has been to start small. This allows me to compare the perceived "cost" of exercise to the "benefit" - the feeling of accomplishment, the beautiful trees on my outside walls, my steady energy and deeper sleep. It also helps me appreciate my growing stamina. At this point, I don’t always enjoy exercising but I feel a sense of satisfaction when I begin and am able to notice the benefits throughout the day. Plus I’m impressing my husband and my dog!.

take a good time to think what exercise you want to do even if u don’t have a buddy to do it if your doing something u like its easier to stay motivated also there is nothing wrong t making new friends at the gym or during your running time

I first exorcise the demons out of my friends and then exercise with the demons. Jk, idk. I am aware that different people like to exercise in different ways and paces so I don’t expect them to join me. I do it to make myself proud at the end and idk if someone else knows about it or not.

Exercise is part of my routine. It comes after one habit and is followed by the next habit, so it’s pretty automatic. I also prep for it ahead of time and keep it simple since it’s the first movement of the day. I get exercise at work and I exercise again after work, so my first exercise in the morning is the basics. Stretching, squats, push-ups, planks, lunges, etc., and just one set of each, to get warmed up for the day.

I stay motivated by remembering why I want to workout. Working out makes me feel strong and happy! I remind myself how good I always feel after working out. I remember that even if I don’t have a workout partner, it’s important to move my body.

I have never had an exercise buddy. I found it really tough, at first, staying motivated to exercise but if you can push yourself through the first week or so it becomes a habit and much as easier.

I try to stick to the same routine everyday so my body just naturally does it. I also have my boyfriend to help motivate me as well but he more motivated me to start bettering myself rather than everyday telling me to exercise.

I keep my motivation by thinking about how much easier my future would be if I just got up out of my bed and went for a run. I even keep my motivation by doing at home workouts right in the room I sleep and live in but I am just like everyone else, everytime I wake up I feel the struggle or thought of not workout or getting up out of my bed but thinking about my future for the better really helps me keep the motivation but getting a buddy would give me so much more motivation

Since I’m an only child I’ve been used to being “alone” for most of life and I don’t mind it. Some things are better left to be done by yourself and exercising is something I believe is best done by myself.
