hey all,

back when I started a while ago I was geared up for the exercise and liked doing it, however more recently I'm really finding it hard to keep doing it these days...so I was wondering if anyone knew of any good websites or forums or whatever where I can find people in my local area (milton keynes, buckinghamshire) who I could meet up with to go walking/jogging/swimming/gymming/whatever

cheers
bob

    Try meetup.org Great website where folks can post various groups that meet and this includes walkers, runners, swimmers, tennis...you name it! Great idea to search people out. Good luck!

    You can ask here if there is anyone in your city that would like to exercise with you.

    I found it motivating to do a organised event. I entered to do a 8km walk and then had something to work towards. Did it last weeekend, it was a challenge for me but I did it. Am now going to enter for a 13km event you can walk or run I will walk. 12 weeks to train for it.. Maybe look for something like this.
