Your Just-Right Workout Buddy
The person exercising next to you can have a significant impact on your workout — for better or worse.
A recent study from the University of California at San Diego reports that exercising next to someone who seems “more fit” than you are can actually lead to shorter and less-effective workouts. The study found that participants spent less than three minutes on the pull-down machine when working out next to a more-fit person. Working alone had them spending four minutes on the machine. But when working out with someone of similar physical appearance and endurance, the participants used the machine for more than five minutes. So find a just-right buddy and hit the gym!
