WHAT DID WE FIND OUT?

Our research into movement habits reveals compelling insights into why a move mate can be a game-changer for your fitness journey:

Nearly half (43%) of Brits frequently struggle with maintaining workout motivation.
One in five (20%) Brits find they need external guidance to stay on track with their exercise routines.
A significant quarter (24%) admit to reducing their effort when exercising solo, highlighting the power of a partner.
Running remains a top choice, with almost a quarter (23%) of the nation identifying it as the most effective form of exercise.
The simple encouragement of "keep going!" is cited by 20% as the most motivating phrase during a workout, reinforcing the value of a supportive move mate.

Engage with your move mate by sharing smiles. Studies indicate that mirroring smiles can trick your brain into perceiving exercise as less strenuous, enabling you to sustain effort for longer periods and enhance your overall workout experience.

Take a moment to share things you are grateful for with your move mate. Focusing on positive aspects of life helps reframe challenges more constructively, fostering a positive mindset that can significantly impact your workout resilience.

Before starting your session, clearly agree upon your workout goals with your move mate. This shared understanding ensures you both remain committed and can effectively motivate each other when fatigue sets in, helping you push through to achieve your objectives.

Incorporate empowering phrases like 'yet' or 'and so' into your dialogue. Transform negative statements into positive affirmations, such as 'This is hard… and so I’ll definitely benefit' or 'I can’t do this…Yet'. This linguistic shift can significantly boost your mental fortitude during challenging moments.

Actively observe your move mate and highlight their strengths or specific achievements during the workout. Receiving genuine compliments about their skills can make the exercise feel easier and more rewarding, fostering a supportive environment.

Help each other maintain correct technique. A move mate can provide crucial prompts like 'shoulders back,' 'core strong,' or 'feet higher,' ensuring you both work at your best and prevent potential injuries, maximizing the effectiveness of your workout.

Incorporate a small competitive element into a portion of your session. This could involve a fun challenge with a playful 'punishment' for the loser, such as performing extra exercises of the other's choice or buying post-workout coffees. This adds an element of fun and extra motivation to your mate exercise.

Chartered Sports Psychologist, Dr. Josephine Perrey, emphasizes the profound impact of social connection on physical activity:

“It's widely understood that exercise offers numerous benefits, yet initiating and sustaining a routine can be challenging, especially when motivation wanes or stress levels are high. Psychological research consistently shows that one of the most effective strategies to boost motivation is to engage in physical activity with others. This shared experience not only encourages us to work harder and enhances accountability but, crucially, makes the entire process more enjoyable. The powerful sense of connection with a move mate serves as an invaluable asset in achieving and maintaining fitness and an active lifestyle.”
