The Couple That Plays Together Stays Together
Exercising as a couple is a great way for you both to stay in shape not to mention the bonus of spending quality time together. When we prepare for a wedding we can sometimes overlook the most important things in life. Believe it or not we can overlook that we actually have a partner! When all the wedding plans consume our every thought they can sometimes falter by the wayside. Secondly we can quite often overlook our own health and fitness needs. We forget that this time is stressful and we need all the help we can get to stay fit and healthy. When you have someone to do this with then it is amazing how much easier it is to stay focused and keep healthy.
Even if the two of you have different fitness levels there are many obvious benefits. Training together:
1. Creates a common interest: This can add to the excitement of your relationship and keep it fresh!
2. Provides encouragement & motivation: You can always count on each other for support when the going gets tough!
3. Allows for a deeper and more loving bond: Exercise releases happy endorphins that decrease stress and tension. This can then increase your libido – need we say more?!
4. Gives you quality time: Working out together allows you to catch up with each other which is sometimes hard throughout the working week.
5. Creates a balance in your exercise regime: One may favour cardio whilst one favours strength training. Exercising together is a great way to learn how to vary your workouts.
SO why not double your fun by including some of the following activites in your busy week:
1. Boxing: investing in some gloves & pads is a great way for a couple to work out.
2. Running together: try interval training where you can both match each other’s fitness levels.
3. Group Training: this type of training is perfect for couples! Not to mention a great way to meet other like minded people!
4. Two on One with a Personal Trainer: Safe, fun and half the cost!
What are you waiting for??!! Go on and grab your partner - put the wedding planner down and start your exercise regime today!

Great article.
You have hit the nail on the head in regards to spending time together and one of those ways is with fitness.
When I first met my wife one of the things we had in common was that we both loved exercise. We always trained together from that moment and still to this day go to the gym on saturdays and during the week walk regularly with our 3 year old in toe...
Thanks for a great article.
