To lead a healthy life, two things you should definitely do are engage in regular exercise and hang out with friends. The best idea is to combine both things and work out with your buddies to have fun, get motivated and fast-track your goals. Some people exercise alone to stay focused, but for others, having an exercise partner boosts their motivation and overall performance. A sense of healthy competition can prevail between you and your workout partner, which will keep your fitness level high. We have listed some of the benefits of working out with a partner below. Read on to learn more: WORKOUTS WILL BE FUN: The gym can be a boring place, and while a bench press and treadmill may not be ideal ways to have a good time, having a friend as your workout partner will make exercising much more enjoyable. You can perform some serious workouts with your friends — without being too serious. Having fun while performing serious activities is no harm. In fact, it will make the atmosphere lighter so that you can perform more vigilantly. HEALTHY COMPETITION: Working out with your friend can be a healthy form of competition, not to mention a great way for the two of you to keep fit. You obviously wouldn’t like to fall behind while performing with your friend. Exercising together will push you to work harder and be more consistent. Make sure to select an exercise partner who is at the same fitness level as you. You can compete against each other on smaller exercises, which will lead to better performance and stamina. NO MORE QUITS: After a tired or hectic day, you may not want to hit the gym. Sometimes you are simply feeling too lazy to go for a workout. However, having a gym partner can help you work out more consistently. Your partner should be motivated enough to never let you quit or miss the gym. You cannot reap the full benefits of exercise if you are not doing it regularly. Better stamina and enhanced performance can be achieved only if you are regular with your workout routine.

Push-ups are one of the oldest and most widely known strength exercises on Earth. They’ve been a staple in military fitness, martial arts and just about every other type of exercise program that’s ever existed. Anyone who has even the slightest interest in working out has probably tried to do a push-up at least once in their life. Funny thing is, amongst many modern fitness enthusiasts, the push-up is often overlooked due to its simplicity. A lot of people are under the misconception that something so basic couldn’t possibly be the best overall upper-body exercise out there. Even members of the primal community who know better than to buy into mainstream hype are often skeptical of my claim that the humble push-up is nature’s perfect exercise. Push-ups are as close to a perfect exercise as you can get. They work your entire upper-body (including your abs), and can be modified in an infinite number of ways to suit any fitness level. Push-ups emphasize the chest, shoulders and triceps but every muscle in the body has to do its part for a proper push-up to take place. Your lats, traps and abs must stabilize your pushing muscles, while your lower back, legs and glutes need to stay engaged to keep your hips from sagging or piking up too high. Like many calisthenics exercises, push-ups teach your muscles to work in harmony with one another. But my favorite thing about push-ups is that they don’t require anything more than a floor, so you can do them anywhere. And as I always say, If you don’t have a floor, you’ve got much bigger problems! Actually I’m lying, I’ve never said that before. I’m actually kind of mad I just said it because it was so corny. I have ADD, ok end rant. Good morning 😃! #pushupseveryday #pushupvariation #workoutvids #calisthenicstraining #goodmorningfriends

The past is a good place to reflect upon. To reminisce about. To remember. But it’s no place to live in. Especially if that past includes pain, hardships, and shame. Often times we wake up to a brand new day. A fresh start to get up and try once again. But we can’t get anywhere because we are still re-living our yesterday. We are still holding on to our past hurts. We are still thinking about what could have happened…but didn’t. We are still replaying the painful words someone said. And we are slowly allowing our past to take our future away. Because the longer you dwell in the past the easier it is to forget to live in the present. The harder it gets to dream about tomorrow. I love this powerful statement by Nelson Mandela: “As I walked out the door toward my freedom I knew that if I did not leave all the anger, hatred, and bitterness behind that I would still be in prison” Maybe you were never in a physical prison like he was but your past may seem like a prison to you. A place that haunts you because of the terrible memories it holds. But if you don’t move on from that place you will remain in a prison. A prison with a door that you have the key to. It’s up to you unlock it. #goodmorningquotes #positive_energy #mentalità #peacemakers #bloggershare #robreedfitness

This is the realist thing I’ve seen in a long time. There are so many hilarious things I want to post, but I don’t out of fear of offending people. As long as we are respectful of one another I think people need to chill out. #tedtalks #offensive #comedy #humpday #90s

"🤪Which one would you choose?” 🤨 Simply put... losing weight = calorie deficit. (burn more calories than you consume). I'll give a quick explanation about the sugar later on. So be aware of "healthy" sugary/high-calorie drinks in disguise! - 🍬 Sugar is sugar. It gets absorbed in the gut and stimulates the production of insulin in almost exactly the same way. With whole fruit, the fiber slows down that absorption and lowers the GI, but with smoothies that doesn’t seem to happen - it spikes your blood sugar like a can of Coke would. From a long-term health perspective, the smoothie wins with its micronutrients, but I’d argue that if you have a balanced diet this one drink shouldn’t be the tipping point for you. @robreedfitness #healthysnackideas #healthy #allnatural #healthyalternatives #wholefoods

Tag a friend who is working on their butt. Follow @robreedfitness for some real ass fitness advice. Haha pun intended Happy Monday to all my peeps out there! First thank you for being here, I appreciate you following me! - Building your butt can be a glorious thing for you, your significant other, or your bathing suit goals. - To build your butt you should know a bit about the function first. The glutes work to abduct and extend the hips and legs. So, to maximize your glute growth hip extension exercises are going to be the biggest bang for your buck. - Because of the Instagram models out there it has become a common belief that building a huge butt comes from squats and pulsing squats with your butt sticking out. Although, it is impossible to engage your glutes with that much of a pelvic tilt. - Wherever you are right now (bed, kitchen, work) tighten up your abs and tuck your hips under squeezing you glutes hard. That is what you should be feeling on most of these lifts. - I would do 3-6 sets of each of these exercises over the course of the week. Choose a weight where you can perform quality reps while challenging yourself. Mix it up with high and low rep ranges. - You cab also do many of these at home with no weights, just increase the sets and reps. - Go to https://robreedfitness.com/ for your meal plans and nutrition needs. - Rob - #monday #glutes #legs #butt #bikini
