I’ve tried with my best friend…when he broke up with his long time GF he wanted to get in shape, strong, be healthy etc…he went with me for about 2 weeks a few times a week and then he met a new girl and stopped coming.

If your example isn’t sufficient to motivate him, nothing will be. Leave him be. You might be surprised how much influence you can have minding your own business, but looking good and healthy and only offering info if asked. [/quote]
I have experience with this. She’s 100% right.
At least, I have found this ‘method’ to be most effective.
Everyone needs a different reason for minding their health. If your friend wants a better body to attract chicks (and that is his initial motivation), then he needs to see you having more success with chicks because of your physique. I know you got a cute little girlie, but I am just illustrating a point.
If he needs to see you get over a medical condition, then that’s the only thing that will kick start a healthy habit for him.
Etc…

There wasn’t shit anyone else could do to get me into the gym before I decided I was going to go ahead and give it my 100%. My past roommates tried, it didn’t work.
For me what really did it was a combination of factors…getting rejected by a girl made me determined to improve myself in SOME way, and then I looked at pictures of myself that had been taken recently I realized that there was one area I could DEFINITELY improve on.
i used to train with one of my cousins, me and him feed off each other in the gym great training partner , i tried going with my other cousin when i moved back to california went twice with him stopped going , i’d ask after so many times i just stopped askin. i didn’t like training with im either , he’d get mad at me when i tried to push him …pussy.
