14 Days of Love: Having a Rockin' Workout Partner

I've discovered something this week...trying to do a series of blog posts in a difficult task when one does not actually own a computer, thus, I am behind. So here I am, at work, blogging. Hoping to get my series caught up.Working hard for a buck at the moment.

Anyway.

A workout partner can be either be the strongest component to your workouts or it can be a recipe for disaster. Usually, I prefer to workout alone; however, there are a couple exceptions to the rule. I love a good, solid workout partner who can push me past the limits I set for myself.

 I really enjoy working out with my sister. I'm usually the one giving her that extra push but I feel like we complement each other well. Plus she knows what she's doing and has a good amount of strength so our workouts are always a really great time and I love when we are able to spend that time together as our busy schedules often make it difficult.

So what makes a worthy workout partner? For me, it's someone who has a level of determination and motivation that matches mine, someone who has a vast knowledge of lifting, and someone who cares about helping me reach my goals.

Typically, hitting the weights is my "me" time and I love having that time to myself to concentrate on the weights and contemplate life in general. But every so often, I love having that extra push from someone who cares about helping me achieve greatness.
