Do you prefer to exercise alone, with a buddy, or in a group? 

I personally go to the gym most of the time so even though I may join some group exercises, I will still join it solo (and to socialise or not to socialise depends on the instructor's...err..instruction? #forced). I do have a tendency to shy away from group exercise classes which have instructors who like to ask us to pair up all the time. Geez. 

So why do some people (like me) prefer to exercise alone. 

1. You can get into the zone

Okay, this can go either way. Sometimes, without a gym buddy, you'll end up not going (and hence, losing focus). Hahaha. But for you fellow loner, exercising alone makes you can focus better at your gym goal. And what kind of exercise you want to accomplish in the day. 

2. Less energy spent socialising

Socialising drain your energy and your mojo too, especially if your personality is leaning toward the introvert side. Exercising alone will expose you less to this risk. 

3. You don't have to talk unless you want to

Yes, even if you join a group exercise. You can just focus on what the instructor says and follow accordingly. You can always laugh together with fellow classmate when there is something funny happen in the class, but the option of whether to have a chat or not is totally up to you. Most people that join a group exercise is usually loner anyway. 

4. Look does not really matter

Especially after the class, when you are drenched in sweat. This even worse if you are working out with your crush. Even if in the case of emergency (e.g. sweat makes eyeliner run out from your eyelid when you totally have no time to wipe your make up before class), you can just make a quick dash to the changing room to fix it without giving a care on who have seen that fiasco. After all, strangers do not bother us anyway. Nor do they give a damn.

If you look as hot as UEE (re: a Korean singer and actress) when you are exercising, no. 4 will not be really a problem for you. Damn, I'm so jealous. LOL.
