Do you excercise alone or with someone

I am starting to realise that I like to excercise alone. I don't like having to wait around for someone else, or try to work around their schedule. It's easier for me to just put the baby in the pram and go for a walk or a jog when ever I feel like it. Sometimes it's nice when hubby joins me, but I like being by myself!
Do you excercise on your own, or with a friends or do group fitness?

I agree with you. I like to concentrate on what I'm doing. I'm not a big fan of group exercise classes either.0

Usually alone. Fitness classes are hit and miss. Some I've loved, others I hated.0
-
I like lifting alone but having a built in spotter is pretty cool too.0
-
generally I'm solo0
-
I pretty much run by myself. None of my friends are interested in getting into shape.0

I usually exercise alone but with others around... usually in a gym environment. Don't want something going wrong and me be totally by myself.0

I usually do group fitness because the support motivates me, and it's nice to have instructors to correct my form. But some days I just don't feel like conversation and work out by myself in the gym instead. My friends who exercise are mainly into running (which I'd rather do solo), but I wouldn't mind lifting with friends.0

I have the food thing down and control it well. However, exercise is another story. Unless I know someone is counting on me I always find reasons to not go or make excuses or if I I find I do go I do not push myself as hard as I do with others. I thrive much more in group classes. Everyone is different though0

I actually enjoy my own company while working out and prefer to be alone. I do, however, enjoy the camaraderie when taking classes. I'm a social butterfly.0

I prefer exercising alone. I love just concentrating on my workout and finding some alone time0

I workout with my husband. There's a tiny gym here free for community use. We walk over, do our workout, and walk back. If one of us finishes up before the other, there's a TV with DirecTV.
But mostly we go together because we live in a less-than-safe area.0 -
alone- finding a truly good lifting partner that meshes with your speed/tempo style and weight structure is very difficult. I have found it's to much work- I'm typically winding up coaching people through workouts and while that's great for them- my workout sucks.
So i just lift alone. I have one friend I like lifting with- otherwise- I can't be bothered.0 -
Almost always with others... I love to run, do bootcamp, play sports, I'm game for anything, but it usually has to be with a group or at least someone else.. There are times when I just need to get out alone with my thoughts and run them into the sunrise or sunset, but for the most part, I'm a social creature. I have a mud-obstacle racing team that comprises 22 people now.. At any given time I can grab one or three of them for runs or workouts.0

Alone. I can't be bothered with people yapping at me while I'm trying to concentrate. Gym time is work time, not social hour.0
-
Working out is my clarity time. I love doing it alone!0
-
Yep, alone......0
-
Alone. Concentration is more important than socializing during that time.0
-
Alone always. I like being alone0
-
I roll solo, its better that way because I can focus on my goal rather then listens to my friends complaint.0

I currently go to the gym with my husband, but i'm so tired of waiting for my "little princess man" to finish showering and getting dressed after our workout session.
Can't wait til he goes back to school in September so i can lift alone. :grumble:0
