A Support System for Whole Body Wellness

Because Buddying Up Is More Fun!

Let’s face it, there’s no getting around it: The road to wellness, weight loss or even job security can be a bumpy one. But much like life’s other journeys, the going can be smoother when you have someone to share the trip.

This is where Buddy Up comes in — creating a partnership with others who not only share your weight loss, wellness, workout or income goals, but who can help you navigate a kinder, gentler path to reaching those goals. Many experts now say buddying up can make the difference between failure and success with any whole body wellness plan.

“Most people put all their effort into finding the right program but don’t put any energy into creating a support and accountability system, and too often, that’s where the devil lies,” says Adam Shafran, DC, author of You Can’t Lose Weight Alone: The Partner Power Weight Loss Program.

Shafran says people fail not necessarily because they’re following a bad plan, but because they lack a good support system.

“It can be the deciding factor that makes a (diet) work — or not work,” say Shafran.

In research published in the Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology in 2005, doctors at Brown Medical School and Dartmouth University found that people who had an exercise buddy who successfully lost weight were more successful at losing, too. Buddy Up For Success - Feel supported and excited when youfind a buddy with the same life challenges as you have! Research shows that support leads to greater weight-loss success than going it on your own. In fact, it was recently discovered that members who attend meetings, where there’s an element of support, lose three times more weight than those who try to lose alone!

A workout buddy may be your best bet for staying on the fitness track. An Indiana University study concluded that couples who exercise together are seven times more likely to stick to their fitness routine. To keep your motivation peaking, it’s best if your fitness pals have the same agenda: to burn those calories. And look for someone who shares similar pleasures. Whether it’s mall walking, bird watching or treadmill trekking, fitness friends help each other meet their goals with a little sweat and a lot of inspiration.

Buddy Up for Career Success.

Business building or Job hunting can be easier and more effective in Buddy groups of two or more.

If you have a buddy, great. If not, and you’ve been finding it hard to stick to your wellness, fitness, weight loss or income goals, now would be a good time to ”Buddy Up” and hold each other accountable. This is an important component for success. No one does it alone.
