Ok, let's face it. Each of us are at different levels in our exercise and nutrition program. We want to exercise with others that are either more or less advanced than where we are. Although not ideal, this does not mean that you can not exercise with them.
In order for you to be successful.
1. Maintain your own food and exercise journals.
Make sure that you are keeping track of progress through your own. Do not get caught up with what the other person is or is not doing. You are ultimately responsible for your own success or failure.
2. Continue to exercise even if your partner does or does not.
Although your partner can hold you accountable, you must be account for your actions. Your partner should be your second source of accountability not your first.
3. Determine your own goals.
Your goals may or may not be the same as your partner's. Even if you have the same goal(s), then you may have different steps to reach the same goal(s). Take the necessary steps to make sure that you reach your goals at your own pace.
You can exercise with someone at a different level, you just have to follow these basic guidelines.

Exercising At Home
There are many of you that prefer to exercise at home. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that, as long as you are doing something. I said it before, there is no golden rule that says that you have to go to the gym. It is by preference. You can use a exercise ball or dumbbells
However, there are a few guidelines that you need to follow if exercising at home.
1. Make sure you are in a safe area for exercise. Verify that there is enough room for you to exercise without putting yourself in danger.
2. Verify that you will not be distracted. Set aside a specific time frame. This is not the time to answer the phone, cook dinner, help the children with homework.
3. Still keep a set schedule as if you were going somewhere. Stick to the routine of exercising at the same time if possible. Many fall off when exercising at home, because they fail this step.
4. If possible, dedicate a room to exercise. If you have to constantly move the coffee table, you will be less likely to continue.
5. Consider DVD or a specific program that you enjoy and will get you moving.
You can still get a excellent work out at home, but you just have to follow these basic guidelines in order to see the desired results.
