Love is in the air… and while you can’t live on love and fresh air alone, you can definitely rely on love to help you boost your fitness and exercise routines.
Don’t believe us? There’s a ton of evidence to prove that working out with your romantic partner or spouse can help you stick to your exercise program over the long haul.
Increase your chances of success by 600%
One study finds that couples who exercise together are approximately 7 times more likely to stick to their fitness schedules, compared to couples who exercise separately. Simply put, couples that lift, walk and jog together, stay together!
There are several reasons why making your romantic partner your exercise partner can actually help you attain your fitness goals that much quicker. The fact is that you’re much more likely to stick with a workout program if you have a partner to boost your motivation levels. Who better an exercise partner than your mate, who is just as invested in your fitness and health as you are?
Whether it is a round of cardio every day or a long walk, exercise routines can seem more fun when they are performed with the person you love. One of the biggest reasons for flagging motivation levels is boredom, and working out with a loved one can help prevent boredom from creeping into your exercise program.
Exercise together to spice up your relationship
With a close and intimate partner to work out with every day, you’re much more likely to try out new routines, and new schedules that can help bring you closer to your fitness goals. Experts also agree that working out together can add passion and zest to your relationship!
Focus on your “Heart Health”
Exercise, according to several studies, is one of the surest, safest and most effective ways of keeping heart disease at bay. Cardiovascular disease is now counted as one of the leading causes of unintentional death worldwide, and exercising together can help you and your romantic partner keep your hearts healthy and beating just for each other!
This Valentine’s Day, add some joint workout sessions to your weekly schedule. Start off with tried and tested routines with which both of you are comfortable… but then, begin pushing the boundaries.
