BILL LAITNER: Running buddy can provide winter motivation

Jeff Martin, an associate professor of sports psychology at Wayne State says that a good way to revive an exercise schedule, or to kick-start a new habit, is to get social. He believes that one can plan new goals with others motivating solitary training. Finally, one can exercise in the company of others at a fitness center, which is also a form of motivation. Richard Bernstein was also noted in the story as someone that the Free Press writer Bill Laitner chats with from time to time about various causes from disability rights to bringing a track program back to Wayne State University.
