Find your perfect work out buddy!
January is here and thus a new year has begun! We often make commitments in these first months but never end up sticking to them for the whole year. However having someone you can train with to help motivate each other to go further can really make a difference. This is why Fitssi is such a great new app! It’s the first social fitness app that connects users (like myself) with other fitness fans because while Karen who’s a great laugh down the pub might be your first person to call, she probably isn’t going to be the best fitness partner when it comes to sticking it out. So having that mate who will say yes instead of no, is definitely one of the best things you can have for your fitness goals. In fact, a study at Stanford University found that just one phone call a week from a fitness partner can increase the amount a person will exercise by whopping 78%!
It’s really easy to download the app from the Apple store (sorry no Android yet guys!), connect it with your Facebook and you’re ready to go. The app itself, is beautiful and really simple to use. It feels like what insta would be like if it was about photos and physically connecting people rather than virtually. It also uses Facebook for user authentication and you can join existing groups if you don’t fancy going it alone with a buddy!
As an added bonus for January 2016, they’re also doing a fitness challenge called Kickstart 2016 where users are challenged to find seven new fitness partners in the month. You can then post a work out selfie looking your sweaty best on the app. Though my favourite part, since everyone loves a freebie, healthy goodies will be given away to users taking part!
So get your trainers and I’ll meet you in the park!
