Environment: The People Around You

The people you spend time with are part of your environment too. The right ones make healthy habits far easier to keep.

It's easier with other people

A training partner who's expecting you. A club that meets at the same time each week. A friend who asks how it's going. Any of these makes it far more likely you'll turn up on a day you don't feel like it.

It's also more enjoyable. Doing something with people you like turns it into something you look forward to, rather than something you have to get done.

Where to find them

  • A friend or partner who wants the same thing.
  • A walking or running group.
  • A class, a club or a local sports team.
  • Someone at work who'll join you at lunch.
Remember

Find even one person who makes showing up easier.

General information, not medical advice. If you've an existing condition or you're unsure about starting something new, speak to a qualified professional first.
