I need a workout buddy
I'm 3 weeks post op, and I am struggling with going to the gym. If anyone lives near me and wants a workout buddy, please let me know.
Thanks,

Hi Dyan:
I don't live in San Diego and first of all, I guess I have to wait til I have surgery. Don't know when that will be.
But, it sounds like a great idea if we can get posters to tell us where they live so that maybe we can find workout buddies nearby. I know that would help me when the time comes.
Great Idea!!!

Go every day at the same time. pack the night before. Don't think about if you feel like it, just go! Buddies let you down too - the best person to lean on is you and you will get GREAT results in there.

Dyan,
Get some headphones and go! You'll feel so good...I was going with my son, and he was dragging his feet (college student) making excuses...finally I just started going on my own, and I do like it a lot. The 24 Hr fitness have televisions and great music to keep you pumped up. You might meet a buddy at the gym, but really, it's all about you.
Oh and WELCOME!

This is a great idea! We have a weekly nature walk at work, and my buddy has encouraged me to join. Although I can go to the gym alone, it's something about the group that keeps me inspired! Also, since there are a few of us, even if one doesn't show up we still have the walk.
