Getting the support that you need

If you find that you’re having a hard time keeping up with your program on your own, consider working with a personal trainer or hiring a lifestyle coach to support you.
Find ways to get the support of friends, family members, co-workers, and training partners. Studies show that social support is the single most important factor for sticking to a workout program. Share your goals with people you’re close to and who care about you. Beware of those who may try to sabotage your goals. Let people know how important your training is and why you want to succeed. Share what benefits you expect to achieve and show your appreciation to those around you who do help you to succeed.
