Definitely alone, otherwise I get distracted.

Cardio is alone time for sure! I do like a class environment for yoga - something about everyone around me working at different levels is very inspiring.

I don't like having my friends around- I feel like I slack off and don't work as hard.

It depends. I usually prefer to run by myself, because I am very goal oriented when I run and don't want someone else to slow me down or push me too hard. I like lifting weights by myself, but I also enjoy lifting with my husband... he really motivates me and pushes me to do my best and get one more rep in there. Sometime, by myself, I slack a bit.

I rarely workout, but when I do I always like company. I feel dumb jogging alone, and when I hit the gym its nice to have someone else with me so we can talk about the other people there. In a good way. ; )

I agree with Le Luxe- while of course it's fun to be with a friend I get distracted and chatting too much and neglecting to focus on the work-ing out part! Although that applies for me just at the gym . . .when I run I go often with one particular friend who does Ironman races and he's really focued and kicks my butt to help me with my running training . . . that's more like having a personal trainer that's a great friend and won't let me forget that I am supposed to be working hard.

I prefer to work out alone. That way I can pace myself and it is "my time." I also like to listen to music so a friend wouldn't be heard! But if I took a class I would probably enlist a friend to come with me.

I like to work out by myself. , But I don't mind taking spin class or yoga with a friend.

Can I say either? That's my answer.

I generally work out alone. My boyfriend and I go to the gym together, but go our separate ways once there. Twice a week I workout with a trainer and I love working out with him.

Well, if it's something i must be more concentrated, i prefer do it by myself. But if it's something like run or another stuff i do around here that i don't know how to say in english, than i prefer have a friend to talk.

If I'm running, I'd really prefer to be alone. And I discovered that yoga is not the time to have my friends around, either. We make each other giggle too much. But for lifting weights and cardio classes, it's a lot of fun to have them with me.

Definitely alone! I'm around people all day and I get sick of it, work outs and showers are my alone time.

Alone. Working out with friends or my boyfriend is distracting because they either want to talk (and not bust their a$$ working out) or they want to leave after 45 mins. I'm a 2 hour gym girl.

I like to go the gym alone so I don't have to try to coordinate machines, timing, etc. I can just do what I want when I want.

When it comes to running, I used to think that running alone was the only way to go (other than hs track practice), but about a year ago I started running with a local group to meet people and now I couldn't go back. My running time is when I get to hang out with my friends AND get a great workout in at the same time. Although I still do enjoy the occasional solo run.

I say, whatever works best for you...keep on truckin'!

I work out by myself, but sometimes my boyfriend joins me for a walk

Alone. Otherwise I get distracted and don't keep up with my routine.

In the gym, alone, yoga definitely alone - the class is great but it's distracting if you have friends there cause you always want to check out what they're doing. But swimming, definitely with a friend. You can't talk under the water so you still work just as hard on your laps but swimming alone is SO BORING and I won't push myself as hard unless I have someone else to make sets with and decide on goals. Then a half hour of social kick at the end is the best!

I've been trying to workout with people so it will get me up in the morning. I have no prayer of getting out of bed if I'm working out solo. But I definitely get no where near as good of a workout if I'm with someone. I've been noticing that and it really kinda bums me out. I just can't push myself when I have someone else there, not sure why.
I guess I just have to keep up the two a day workouts, once in the morning so I actually get out of bed, even if it is for a mild workout, and once at night where I go it solo and push myself hard.

I think there was recently a quiz similar to this, so I probably gave the same answer... I have to go alone. My friend and I joined the gym together, and started going together, but it was to the point where I was going twice a day because she did not like to do anything, and would want to leave right away. It was so frustrating! Not the going twice a day part, but the wasting time part. Some of my other friends know the classes I take, so sometimes they will show up, but that is fine because they show up early to take a difficult class and get a good work out, so I know they aren't going to try and convince me to leave early like my other friend would. I don't mean to sound negative... it's just that I really need to stay focused with my workouts.

Alone actually, it's more calming. I get to be with my thoughts and just focus on getting fit. Besides, my friends dont like working out. I wanted them to join me in strength and conditioning in High School, they weren't up for it.

i'd love to work out. and, i can't do it alone or i'll lost interest fast. it's definitely better to exercise with a friend or two.

I don't mind going with someone but doing our own routines. But when my friend and I ended up taking the same spinning class, it was great! We motivated each other to go and got really close by seeing each other those extra two nights a week. Still, I like working out in classes with strangers and getting to know them because it is a little reminder that you're committed to the class and keep coming back!

being alone does not bother me but sometimes i like the company. at times when i am by myself i feel i can concentrate better

alone

i grew up doing team sports, but i greatly prefer solo workouts.

It depends, sometimes I think I get a better, more intense workout when I am by myself; other times, I think having someone there motivates me to keep going..It's a toss up.

My bf and I have been working out together recently, and it's been the best! Makes the time go by much faster, and he keeps me going.

I only like to run alone, because that's my 'alone' time and it's good for thinking or listening to music. But otherwise, I love to not notice I'm exercising, aka playing tennis or going to spinning classes with my friends.

I like to work out alone at the gym. But walking/running I like to have a friend with me. Because of safety reasons and it makes time go by so fast when someone is with you.

I only work out alone because all of my friends tend to whine too much. I went running once with my sister and she started whining after only about a mile and a half saying she wanted to go home and was too tired. So she took a different path and headed back while I finished my run. And forget working out with my husband...that ALWAYS turns into a giant whine-fest: "I'm TIRED! I'm STARVING! This bike ride SUCKS! How much LONGER??" And that's only at the beginning...it usually gets worse after a couple of miles, lol.

I prefer to do core and a little cardio alone. However, I love taking yoga, pilates, and kickboxing classes. It's quite motivating.

100% by myself. I'm super diva about that actually.

I work out best alone, prefer it too!

If I'm at the gym, then I need to have a friend to motivate me. But if I'm running, I need to be alone to focus on pace and breathing
