You’ll be mega-motivated
Working out alone can get boring, and there are days when you know you should go to the gym, but it’s just easier to go straight home after work and vow to go the next day. But what if you had a gym date with your guy? You’ll be much less likely to skip out on a workout if you know he’s waiting for you. Not to mention that seeing him hit his target heart rate zone and burn off last night’s date-night dinner should inspire you to keep going even when you’re feeling less than motivated.
You’ll boost your bond
While it’s nice to have some solo hobbies and interests, having a few things you and your partner do together is a simple but effective way to boost your bond. Why not make working out something you do as a couple? Even if you don’t have time to work out together five times a week, even committing to two gym sessions per week can act as a built-in “date” night and ensure you get to spend some quality time together.
You’ll increase passion
Once your blood starts pumping and those exercise-induced endorphins start moving through your body, you’re much more likely to feel sexy and see your partner in a more attractive light. Plus, working out makes you feel better about yourself , making it easier to get in the mood for sex. Working out side by side can also increase intimacy, which further has a hand in increasing post-workout passion.
You’ll have a lot more fun
One of the best and easiest ways to bust fitness boredom is to work out with someone else, so why not make that person your significant other? Choose activities that go beyond being on two treadmills across from each other and really work together to inject some fun into your workouts, which will benefit both of you. Instead of just hitting the gym together three times each week, supplement your joint workouts with other, more playful activities like playing one-on-one basketball, joining a weekly co-ed sports league, playing a round of golf or testing your indoor rock-climbing skills.
