Question:
Play Together, Stay Together?
I'd like to know your views on working out as a couple...
Does it help your workout?
How has it affected your lifestyle?
Has working out together created strong connections within the couple?
Or has is been the opposite?
Is your partner a motivation, or annoyed by your dedication to the gym?
Do you think all couples are meant to be workout partners?
Please comment

i don't think working out is the best for me, but everyone is different. i worked out with one of my ex's and it wasn't all that great. but i used to jog with a different one and it was cool. you could chat it up and talk about how out of shape you are and junk. so for me, cardio-yes, weights-no.
It has it's ups and downs. Too long to go in to though...
Just depends on what you want
Talk about ass-kissers, no disrespect to you Josie, but to all the other people giving you rep points simply because you are a girl. E-losers need a life simply for bumping her with all these reps simply because you're hoping it will get you laid, she has made 70 posts for christs sake, and her rep points are almost outdoing her amount of posts. -not really ;p
p.s. I do not necessarily mean the guys who posted above me, simply whoever has been boosting rep points for the simple reason she is female.
simply whoever has been boosting rep points for the simple reason she is female. Sure! only probably because I'm a girl.. not because I've been here a while and not because I know what training and weight loss is..
and..does points really matter in your life... for me it wont change anything...
Anyhow, for the others how actually replied to the question posted here...
I am an Health & Fitness writer, I'm writing an article on couples who work out together, I'd like to know how good or the bad your experiences have been living with someone and working out together.... I'd like to see both sides of the spectrum.
meandmyiv... has it help you in staying on track... have you felt more focused or the opposite?
two choices.. you talk about cardio being good but not work out, why exactly? girlfriend had no interest in weight training?
I thank you all for your comments!
Josie
My girlfriend and I work out together. Although she does cardio alone because I don't do cardio. She prefers to work out with me because she knows I will push her more than her friends will.
Sure! only probably because I'm a girl.. not because I've been here a while and not because I know what training and weight loss is..
Josie You may know all that, but still, that many rep points after only 71 posts? That's waayyy fast. I'm with Ev1 on this one.
I couldn't do it. I think I'd get annoyed or sick of seeing them. You got to have some time to yourself. Work all day, go to the gym with them, then go home with them.. lol no way. Being together with someone almost 24/7 would only cause problems.
Plus if you live together, and go at the same time.. got to wait for eachother to get ready, then afterwards..shower fights.. no hot water left fights..
You'll probably be doing different things, and if you're next to eachother probably talk a lot with just comments on everything which interupts your workout..Although cardio together wouldn't be so bad, might go faster if you're talking. I find cardio boring even with an Mp3 player.
Or then if you're with someone who gets jealous, that'll be nothing but hell if you even look in another guy/girl's direction. Then again, I'd personaly never be with someone who has a jealousy problem.
So eh, I only see bad things about it. There are other ways to spend time together than a gym. Unless you're both really busy, school and work, don't spend much time toether as it is.. and met eachother at the gym and BOTH were dedicated. That might not be so bad. But then, you'd probably get in fights cause you can't really talk to them at the gym and if one concenctrates more on their workout, the other would get mad...
blah. I see drama.
Is this a dead thread?
Josie?
Did you ever write that article about couples who workout together?
I would like to read it if you did,
thanks,

Does it help your workout?
YES. HE TEACHES ME ALOT AND I WANT TO IMPRESS HIM, SO I WORK MY HARDEST AND VICE VERSA
How has it affected your lifestyle?
IT KEEPS ME ALOT MORE MOTIVATED TO BE ACTIVE. IT HAS MADE US CLOSER. NO NEGATIVES HERE!
Has working out together created strong connections within the couple?
DEFINATELY. ITS A DIFFERENT KIND OF BOND BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT ONLY SHARING AN INTEREST, BUT YOU ARE INTERACTING TOGETHER. SPOTTING EACHOTHER STRENGTHENS TRUST.
Is your partner a motivation, or annoyed by your dedication to the gym?
DEFINATELY A MOTIVATION. WE CHALLENEG EACHOTHER AND LIKE TO WATCH EACHOTHER GROW THANKS TO OUR INSPIRATION AND CHEERING.
Do you think all couples are meant to be workout partners?
NO WAY. SOME PPL JUST REFUSE TO BE ACTIVE AND HATE IT. OR THEY DONT HAVE THE SAME FITNESS GOALS, FEEL EMBARRASSED/UNCOMFORTABLE, ETC.
damn, this thread is 3 years old! lol.
but me and my gf workout together sometimes. it was kind of lame the first few weeks, but only because i had to teach her some basic lifts, and what it means to push through the pain to get that last rep. She's actually become a really good workout partner, and she's learning the proper way to spot on bench too.
obviously i wouldnt have her spot me in squatting lol, but i think its cool if a couple can lift together.
there's a relationship section for this kinda stuff i believe
I was like wait a minute is that guy on drugs she has 2971 not 71 posts lol then I saw how old the thread is :D
