Find an accountability buddy
Sharing your fitness goals with a friend can be a powerful motivator. When you tell a friend about your intentions, it not only makes your goals feel more real but also increases your likelihood of sticking to them.
Asking a friend to check in on your progress or to be open to receiving weekly updates can create a sense of accountability. Your friend's support and encouragement can make a big difference, and the more excited and driven you are about your goals, the more they'll want to see you succeed. This mutual enthusiasm can be a key factor in maintaining your motivation.
Join an Online Community
If you prefer not to share your goals with someone you know personally, joining an online community can be an excellent alternative. Platforms like Facebook, Reddit, and various fitness forums offer dedicated spaces for social accountability.
Posting your goals and updates in these communities allows you to connect with others who are on similar journeys. Seeing other people's progress and receiving encouragement from a supportive online network can help you feel less alone and more "in it together."
Everything is easier together
Committing to a goal with someone else can be even more effective. Whether you team up with a friend or connect with someone online, having a workout buddy who shares your aspirations can significantly enhance your motivation.
Collaborating on fitness goals means you can support each other, celebrate successes together, and push through challenges side by side. Online platforms are great for finding like-minded individuals who want to achieve similar goals, providing a convenient way to team up even if you don't have someone nearby.
Motion's digital fitness community
Motion is designed to make connecting with others and sharing your fitness goals easier than ever. The app allows you to share your steps and workouts with friends, and you can react and comment to encourage each other along the way.
One of the unique features of Motion is the activity points score, which levels the playing field across users of different fitness levels. This means you can team up with or compete against friends without worrying about differences in ability, creating a more inclusive and supportive environment for everyone.
The score also nicely abstracts away all the details below, so you can share your goal with friends, without them necessairly seeing the "underlying value". They'll just know you're being consistent, and how you're getting on!
