YOU GET MORE FROM A GROUP
People who workout in a group (group fitness) are far more likely to stick at it. A study conducted by Pennsylvania State University* introduced 25 inactive adults to group fitness slowly by allowing them to ‘dip their toes’ into exercise. The result was that 20 of the group never missed a workout in 30 weeks. Not only this, they lost body fat, gained lean muscle and reduced their chances of developing cardiovascular disease.
You can make exercise more social by teaming up with a friend or try some different group fitness workouts to see what you like best. Make it a regular date in your diary and don’t go too hard in those first few workouts. It’s better to get into a habit than a world of pain.
