Work Out Buddy or Solo?

I kinda 50/50 it. I don't go to a gym but my at home workouts(mostly in the morning) are MY TIME. I zone...maybe go for a cooldown walk afterwards, listen to music and clear my head. That said I have a friend I walk with almost every night and that's fun too. Someone who keeps me honest, makes me go, helps me set a good and steady pace etc....

I workout alone now, for the same concept you said. I think I get more motivated when I enter my own world and listen to music and just stay on track. It is hard for my static workouts, though!

When I lifted weights, generally I had a lifting buddy or 2. There was the same after work crowd and you could always find someone doing the same body parts.
Running I mostly do alone. Occasionally I did train with a partner for my long runs during marathon training, but it's tougher to find someone who runs the same pace as you.

With, but solo. lol. I like going with someone, doing our own thing once we get there, and then leaving with someone.

I prefer to do it alone, I find I cant concentrate on what Im doing with someone else there

Totally agree! going with someone makes me motivated to go anyways even on days I don't want to... but I'd rather get a good work out in, then stay at a pace that I can carry on an conversation once I get there.

Han Solo all the way at the gym.

I do it for me and rely on my own schedule. It's sort of like my hour of complete selfish time in the mornings

Now for activities and outdoor stuff, I like going with my boyfriend and/or our friends. Especially if the activities planned are kayaking or rock climbing or other partner / spotter activities.

I work out alone 90% of the time and love it..but the 10% my daughter comes with me I love as well. I like to play my music loud and just get to it...but when I am with her we usually gossip and moan about the outfits or muscle monkeys at the gym. lol

Since all my friends live at least 30 minutes away its really hard to work out together. I used to love walking with my friends when I lived closer. Now I walk my dog alone or use the elliptical at the gym while reading a book. I do think it would be much more motivating to have a friend to keep me accountable, and keep me from skipping workout days.

I go to my workouts by myself, but its group fitness ... so buddies?!

I will be working out with my fiance. We will do strength training together...then when its time for cardio, we put our earphones in and do our own thing.

I was going by myself but my boyfriend decided he wanted to join, so we go together when he has a day off. Otherwise I go by myself.

I used to go to the gym with my friend but then I realized than I can do better if I work out by myself. Plus, she kind of stopped going and tried to persuade me to go have coffee with her instead That wasn't very motivating

I sometimes miss being challenged by her but I do realize that I can concentrate better if I am alone. I might call somebody and ask to come with me to a fitness class, though - I really need somebody to motivate me there!

I usually go to the gym for Zumba so there is a group there but I prefer to at least meet someone there to keep me accountable and push me to go but lately that has not been possible so usually it is solo with a group.

It depends on my mood. I usually go with my wife and we strength train/lift together. When it comes to cardio though we do our own thing at our own pace. I have to admit though it motivates me to make sure I do cardio longer than she does. A buddy can be extremely motivational.
