Benefits of having a workout partner
“Starting exercise is easy — the difficult part is continuing to exercise,” says Hirofumi Tanaka, Ph.D., a professor of kinesiology and health education at the University of Texas in Austin who was interviewed for an article in Everyday Health. “One of the predictors of success in terms of persistent exercise is the support of other people.”
The benefits are even greater if your workout partner is also a romantic partner. A 2015 study published in JAMA Internal Medicine, a medical journal, found that people are likely to follow the lead when their partner changes their habits to improve their health. One of the two biggest lifestyle changes was beginning to exercise.
