    My husband and our 12 year old son are my workout partners.We lift together and compete in power lifting contests together too. My other workout buddies are the girls/guys that take my aerobics classes. I do like to walk my hillside at home alone for "ME" time. I've been teaching aerobics and motivating people for 13 years. Without them, i'd be less motivated. We are in this together, good and bad days!

    Mine is my husband. We started this together as the years go on we both have gained a ton of weight since high school. We love it and love the way it makes us feel. Its just hard trying to go after work and only having one car. Once school starts I know we wont be able to go after work at all. BOO! 2nd car = morning work outs! YEA:tongue:

    In the morning I workout with my husband, he will do anything I need to or want to do. He doesnt need to do anything but stay in shape and he supports me even on my bad days.

    In the evenings it's my kids, my son is in junior high now and he wants to make sure he never gets moobs, after the first change out in PE he has been even more motivated. My daughter is in marching band so she gets plenty of cardio right now but she is my yoga partner.

    I don't mind being alone, I get my best workouts in when I am not making sure my kids are permanently injuring themselves but I do enjoy the willingness to try new things each time we are at the gym we now have a rule that we have to try a piece of equipment we have never used until we have tried them all!

    I started this weight loss journey in January with a few people, friends and my husband. My friend Heather has been my workout partner in most of it though! We've done Zumba together, C25k together, and now we're certified Zumba instructors together! We both have a ways to go still, but it's good to have someone there that has the same goals as you! My hubby will work out with us often, but he runs too fast sometimes :P

    I am also lucky to have a supportive family! My mom is a marathoner and she's been so great with all of us and the whole running thing. Always has ideas, tips, and motivational things to keep us going! :)

    My workout partners are my boxers in the morning, unless its sunday and then its the dogs, my mom and my daughter. Weeknights if I am not to whipped from work my mom and daughter, we go to the gym together. We all have odd hours and schedule conflicts but as many days as we can we go to the gym together to work out. If no human is available for gym time then its my Ipod.

    I only wish I had a real legit workout partner. But for now, walk times it's my dog and its when it's video time it's Jillian Michaels. Same goes for the Wii fit. Of course while I'm away at work, I'm moving all night and if I don't crash right away sometimes I can manage enough energy for JM to kick me for a few minutes. :laugh:

    Hard to workout when your partner is in a "mood".

    LOL - I like the comment from the person who said " the voices in my head".

    If I could afford a personal trainer... I'd do it. For now it's me, myself, I , music and the voices in my head as well. :smile:

    i don't think there is anyone in the world willing to get up with me and hit the gym by 3:15- 3:30 at the latest in the morning, so my morning workouts are just me... however in the evenings, my 3 kids and my sisters 2 kids love going on bike rides with me, we ride to the school and they all play on the playground while i continue to ride.

    don't you just hate it when you're at the gym and your Ipod dies out on you? I was just at the gym this weekend and they were play Coppacabana on the overhead speakers. That's just soooo wrong. I don't care about Lola and her being a showgirl. LOL

    well at first it was a friend. we joined the gym together. but the first day we actually went to work out, we hopped on the treadmill and she was done after about 10 minutes. she is a bit skinnier than me, but I still wanted to work out some more. after that I started going in the mornings so when she'd ask me if I wanted to go to the gym I could tell her I already went :p this sounds horrible, but I wanted to go to the gym to work out, not walk around looking at men.

    I work out a lot harder if I'm there by myself with no interruptions.
