Default Alone or with a friend

Do you prefer to work out alone or with a friend. I personally find it really motivating to have someone do it with me. However, I don't like going to gyms, because I feel weird having strangers see me exercise lol. I would love to have someone to walk with me on a daily basis and motivate me. I just can't get myself to do it lol, and I don't want to do it with my dad lol.. he's always asking me

Most exercise I prefer to do with a friend. Somethings, like stretches and Pilates, I prefer to do alone. But anything like walking, jogging, swimming, I'd rather do with a friend.

I prefer to exercise alone. It's relaxing, and it gives me the chance to daydream and be alone with my thoughts. I've always found it easier to maintain my pace if I'm not distracted by talking with another person or having to wait for them to catch up with me.

You're right, it really is a nice time to get away from everything and think.

I would definitely do exercising with a friend or someone who's close to me. I don't want to walk alone it feels so boring.

I love to jog or walk alone. I only have my ipod as my companion. I do love jogging with music, it keeps me running all the time.

Upbeat, peppy music seems to help me stay a bit more motivated when I'm running. Maybe I'm just thinking more on the music, less on the exercise that I don't want to be doing.
