Do you have a list of celebrities you'd like to work out with? I definitely do. I think it would be cool to do some watersports with Cameron Diaz, and I'd love to go for a run with Matthew McConnaughey. You know, because he's a good runner. No other reason there. Nope.

Anyway, I think I might have to add our new First Lady, Michelle Obama, to the list. I mean, she is dedicated, and I'm always so impressed with people who are able to fit in fitness when life gets crazy. And who's had a crazier couple of years than the Obamas?

AOL Health has an excellent rundown of Michelle's fitness routine, touching on how early she's been know to hit the gym (I'm sorry, 4:30 a.m. isn't morning -- that's still night to me!) and what her friends have to say about her (like, she's a gladiator). Get the whole scoop here, then, come back and vote in the poll below.

For the first time, ever, my husband and I are both trying to lose weight, and I am amazed at how much easier it is to eat healthfully and find time for a workout when I have a partner in crime. I knew having a workout buddy was helpful -- I take full advantage any time one of my friends goes on a fitness kick -- but having the person with whom you live share your goals? It's phenomenal.

Of course, that's not always possible -- sometimes, you have to seek out a workout partner. And, if you're in the process of looking for a new one, Go Healthy Go Fit has three tips for finding the right one.

For one thing, look for someone with a similar schedule -- I've gotten some great midday workouts in with a friend who also works from home. Then, make sure you have the same goals, whether those goals are weight loss, running faster or gaining muscle. Finally, make sure you're both equally dedicated -- it's no fun if one of you is constantly forcing the other one to work out!
