I have teamed up with Reebok and their Fast Flexweave shoes to bring you the benefits and tips to working out as a couple with your significant other.
The Benefits of Working Out as a Couple
Feel More Confident
One thing that is guaranteed to lead to a better married life is feeling confident! When you are happy with the way you look, you’re more likely to pay attention to your partner, and you’ll definitely be better together
More Time Spent Together
Working out together ensures that you’ll spend a few hours a week together without distractions. Before Spence and I worked out together, it was taking time away from our relationship. Now that we work out together, we spend at least 2 more hours a week together and it feels like a date!
Deepens Emotional Connection From Working Out as a Couple
Synchronizes Your Life
Have Less Fights After Working Out as a Couple
You know when you’re pissed and just need to get that energy out? Doing physical activity to get out negative feelings is healthy and guaranteed to lead to less fighting and tension! Leave your madness on the bike.
Tips for Working Out as A Couple
Commit to a Day and Time
Motivate with Killer Workout Gear
When you feel like you’re in a slump with your health routine, getting new clothes can be the pick-me-up trick! Spencer and I recently got the Reebok Fast Flexweave shoes to up our fitness game and we are loving them! The shoes come in both male and female styles– perfect to match your spouse at the gym! They are comfortable and good looking, fueling our workouts. I have had so many people compliment the sleek design of them while wearing the shoes out and about, and Spencer loves how light they are! The Flexweave shoes allow us to preform well at the gym and still look good while running errands afterwards! We bought ours online and in store at DSW; you can buy your own at the DSW stores as well!
Support Each Other, but Don’t Boss Each Other When Working Out as a Couple
Obviously you want to push each other while at the gym, but make sure you aren’t pretending to be their personal trainer. Too much control of your partner while they workout will lead to tension in the relationship. Spot them, yes. Cheer them on, yes. Tell them how to do it, no way. On the other hand, healthy competition will make any fitness routine better! Race each other, but be sure to be safe!
Be Willing to Try New Things
Save the Rest for the Bedroom When Working Out as a Couple
No one else wants to see your PDA at the gym. A kiss in between sets, sure… but don’t go making out on the floor!

April 2, 2018Ugh I wish, I'm always trying to get hubs to workout with me but pretty much the only thing he likes to do is running, which is really hard to do now since I'm 6-mo pregnant 🙁

April 3, 2018I do prefer to workout alone but I don't mind working out with a partner. I do like running or biking with one because it's more motivation to keep going!
