Virtual Workout Buddy

I need to start exercising, but it's really hard to motivate myself and I lack the discipline needed to make myself do it on the daily. Anybody interested in a virtual workout buddy that does daily check ins, etc?

    With apologies, I'm not that, but an alternative or additional option would be to consider participating in a check-in thread like this one:

    https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10705619/what-was-your-work-out-today#latest

    . . . or one of the exercise challenge threads over in the Challenges part of the Community.

    Those can also be motivating/inspiring. Best wishes!

    Have you considered live classes on YouTube?

    Hi!
    I’m looking for a workout accountability buddy!! I have an elliptical and a rowing machine at home but totally struggle to find the motivation to use them.
    I’m on Instagram at weigh.to.go.nicole

    I'm interested and in the same boat! It'd be great to have daily check-ins at a set time most days to get a bit of a kick in the pants to do a workout 😅

    Morning pals, I use my iWatch fitness rings to motivate me. The daily completion of those rings + meeting the monthly goal challenge keeps me on my toes. My last challenge was to burn 25,800 calories in October which I accomplished but that made me push myself to burn calories everyday. My current challenge for November is to walk or run 197 kms and I am at 120kms at of today morning. Its time to ultraboost myself to complete 77kms in 10days :)

    If you wear smart watch too, just share your goals for the day and what are you aiming to attain within the rest of this month. And, lets track and encourage each other.

    Was gone for a bit using only Fitbit but now I'm back using both. Friends welcome. 110 pounds down and still rocking it.

    Nice. I guess its motivational for @Br00klynbaby90 and many others. I still have to close my rings for the day and if others haven’t completed their goals too, let’s do it! #nosundaybreak
