How many people actually have support on your fitness goals? I am alone in trying to motivate myself to exercise. I think it would be easier to have an exercise buddy to share your goals and success with. Anyone agree?

I agree whole heartedly.

I'm doing a plank challenge with janeykate from this group and a pushup challenge with gomezarmando also from this group. You're welcome to join us for either challenge. If you don't like either of those two...just propose a challenge to the group and see if anyone wants to join you.

It's not the same as having someone beside you at the gym but it certainly helps to keep me motivated. It could work for you too.

You can share your goals and successes with the whole group. That's what we're here for. : )

You guys are all awesome. How far into the plank challenge are you? I just printed it off so I can keep track. Do you guys do just the plank or do you add the side planks to it?

I'm stuck on day 24 of the plank challenge. Had to back up to the 3 minute mark and work more slowly up to the 5 minute goal. Not doing any side planks. If you're strong enough to do both go for it. Either way I'm glad to have you aboard.

I too support myself pretty well. I "give" myself an objective then take great delight in achieving it.

I'm having trouble finding an in-person exercise buddy. They're either workaholics chasing bucks or alcoholics downing booze.

Everyone is different when it comes to motivation and meeting fitness goals. I have struggled my entire life with this, being in the best shape to the worst shape. I recently started doing Insanity and I have found other forums to discuss in groups with people how the workout is going strengths and weaknesses etc. It helps me stay motivated and on track knowing other people are doing the same workout as me and facing the same struggles. I will probably be doing another Beachbody product after I finish with Insanity but there's a lot to choose from even for beginners (http://www.beachbody.com/category/fitness_programs/best_sellers.do ), and each program has its own support group.
