Build your social network with exercise

Fitness isn’t just about physical gains. It also encompasses many social benefits, too. Engaging in fitness activities can promote better social wellbeing as it often involves working out with other people, whether in a couple or in a larger group. Even those working out on their own but attending a public gym have a social aspect to their fitness journey, as they are surrounded by other like-minded people when they’re inside the gym environment.  You can even build an online community with virtual group classes!

One of the key ways fitness becomes social is through group exercises and classes. Joining a fitness class, whether it's a class for aerobics, HIIT, dance, or yoga, you can share the experience with other people who also enjoy getting fit and supporting their health. You and the other people in your class can motivate one another and create a supportive and collaborative environment.

Team sports also contribute to the social aspects of fitness. Playing on a sports team promotes better physical health and also enables you to develop your teamwork skills, which will translate to other aspects of your life.
