I head over to the SDSU ARC to play pickup five-on-five on a regular basis. I enjoy it because it's a great way to get some exercise and also capitalize on the mental challenge of working with a team, seeing the entire floor and reacting, etc. Also, I like to fancy myself a decent rebounder. So there.
I've noticed something really interesting the more I play. After a certain amount of time, a mutual respect develops between the guys I see there a lot. We protect one another, call fouls for one another, have more fun when we play together. In short we push one another and get pushed back. It got me thinking about how important it can be to have someone to motivate you when you're working out, lifting, playing sports, running, etc - and how much more you can achieve when it happens.
There's no question that the group mentality takes hold at my boot camps, when I've participated in grueling Crossfit workouts, and as I've fought through marathons. It's easy to see and even easier to feel when you're a part of it.
The lesson to be learned here? Find someone who shares your passion for working out - whatever it is - and work WITH that person. Motivate them, have them motivate you, drive to never let them down and encourage them to do the same. You'll find you are much more inclined to get out there and do your workout, etc.
Who's your workout partner? How does he or she motivate you? How do you motivate them?
My husband to be! Getting out of bed while it's still dark out just isn't the same if he's not doing it with me :)
