Workout with a BUDDY!

It's the first time i've tried exercising in public with a friend and I absolutely loved it! It made it easier knowing that I had someone there to motivate me & also share the experience with.

There was a lot of putting-off on my part, as we originally scheduled it for last week however it was hardly

as bad as I made it out to be in my head..

I will definitely urge you all to find a workout-buddy & I really wish I had tried it sooner!

Being more of the gym type, I found it pretty hard to think up exercises apart from just doing laps around the pitches.

Do you have any exercise routines that you enjoy doing at your local park?

I have recently started running with my husband. He is on week 6 run 2 tomorrow. Up till then I had run alone. I was worried about not having the music to distract me but having someone there is great. I can talk to him whilst running to pass the time :)

We run along the coastal path to hills are our workouts :)
