As I mentioned in another post, I've had some issues with back pain this spring. For the past 6 weeks, I've taken a break from boot camp and focused on walking & climbing the stairs at work. Overall, my back is feeling much better and I'm realizing how much injury prevention is a part of the fitness journey.
Some people thrive on exercising alone - it's "their" time and they are self-disciplined, dedicated and focused to make it happen. I am quite the opposite - I tend to push myself harder and do better when I am part of a group. Even if the exercise does not involve interaction with others, I find it easier to find my zone and give 110%. I still consider the exercise time "my time" because after all - I am doing this for me (seriously, why else would I get up at 5am).
Fortunately, my weight is holding steady in a range that I'm comfortable in. If you haven't tried My Fitness Pal, I highly recommend it. It's a great site for logging your daily food journal and exercise as well & I love the smart phone app for it.
Do you exercise best alone or in a group?
