After a hard day at work, spouses come home to spend the little time left in the day together. Let’s be honest, this takes a huge toll on relationships. Now add kids to the equation, driving them to after school activities, and planning and cooking dinner. There is so much to do, when is there time to spend quality time together? Not much. Here’s a great way for keeping the spark in a relationship. Try working out together. Over the last 23 years I have trained many couples together, and as a trainer I love when couples come in and say they want to workout together. This to me is awesome, not only for getting healthy and fit, but because it brings new light to relationships.
Don’t get me wrong, it
’s still hard to find time to workout together, however, it saves time by doing it together. And yes, it is very much quality time together, especially when someone else makes the workout. Someone like me, a trainer. This puts both people in the relationship on edge, to see what’s coming next. This feeling somehow sparks a flame, simply by seeing your spouse act a certain way. She might say “bring it on” while he’s quite thinking to himself “this trainer wants me to do what?” You can sense what your spouse is thinking and feeling. This in itself can make a relationship stronger.

We all know that there is vent up frustration when it comes to building and keeping relationships going. Working out together, performing certain types of exercise can really help bring out some needed venting. Take fitness boxing for instance. Boxing is perfect for a little tension release. There are plenty of partner type exercises also where both people have to work as a team to get it accomplished. Physical team building exercises work for corporations, so why not relationships?
Fact is, couples that train together stay together, and fitness can be a great way to spend quality time with each other.
