If I have to pick one thing most essential to staying active, I would pick motivation. I am no different from anyone when I say I'd rather warm my couch than get out there and take the first step to exercise. Be it a walk or a run, the key is to want to do it.
I understand that buddy system works quite a lot of people too. It did for me too. But there was always this nagging wish that the other person would cower and say no to the day's workout. And I could escape working out too! This is a vicious cycle. In the end both of us were not really putting our 100%. So it comes back to us to motivate ourselves, to really want to change something.This applies in any walk of life!
It is the hardest thing to determine to start exercising. It is harder even to continue to do it day after day. It's nice if there is an external motivation. There is nothing better than someone actually telling us our hard work paid off. In the end it is always up to me to decide if it's worth it. To sweat it out everyday and gather all that energy in the end to do stuff that I truly do enjoy.
