Exercise Networking

It's January, and you are going to the gym for the first time, you don't know anybody and you would like that this purpose last at least 6 months. What to do?

Networking activities will help you to move forward on your new year's resolutions, please remember to have fun on the process.

1.- Get into some classes, usually gyms offer yoga, salsa, kickboxing, Pilate's or spinning classes. Subscribe to a class and get to know your peers, eventually you will met all the people in the class and your class will become more fun.

2.- When activating Cardio, try to meet the people around you, specially if they are warming up. Ask about the best cardio program, and how to use better the equipment.

3.- If you are making some weights, you could handle your networking by making combining laps with other people training too. Look for the people at your same work out level. If you don't have any experience, use your training knowledge first, and then continue with your exercise. 

4.- Join a team, some gyms have basketball, tennis, racquetball among different team features. Any activity done by more than two people will be easier to handle for integration and networking.

5.- Have a purpose in mind, talk with your trainer about your goals, maybe its running a marathon, a triathlon, there could be several groups that are training for a specific challenge and if you join them, it will be perfect to share a hobby and a sport. 

6.- Finally the dressing rooms, here you can comment about your training day and also make plans for the next day. If you get a commitment partner to go to the gym it will be easier for you to end your goal.

 Hope you get the best of the success while integrating networking on your exercise routine.
