Happy Valentine's Day everyone!!
I thought I would attempt to inspire workouts for couples on the LOVE DAY!
The Gym is a playground and a great place to meet someone special. Lets say that you do and you fall in love. And you soon find yourselves in a comfortable routine, and suddenly, your waistline expands beyond recognition from pizza dinners, movie marathons on the couch and perhaps a few too many bottles of wine!
The good news in all of this is that working out with your spouse, or your best friend, partner or co-worker can actually be more successful than trying to get in shape alone. People actually perform better when working out with a partner, and working out with a partner increases your motivation, accountability and consistency as well.
Before committing to a workout partner, make sure to talk about your shared goals, schedules and workout style. If you are an avid runner seeking to train for a marathon might you might not be the best match for a yogi looking for mindful flexibility training.
If possible, look to someone like personal trainer or coach to start you off with proper form, a progressive and safe routine, and the know-how to help structure a program tailored to your fitness goals. You may also want to invest in a tracking tool, to keep track of your levels of physical activity, nutrition and sleep.
And if you are one of those people who need motivation, try making a friendly bet with your partner, such as who will lose the most weight, run the fastest mile or do the most push-ups at the end of 3 weeks (a typical period during which early exercise adaptations occur) of consistent workouts together. If you and your partner can reach your goals even faster with the motivation of some fun and healthy competition.
