Life should never, we repeat never, be solitary. Especially when it comes to a relationship. Your better half can be the catalyzer you need to start a change, it can be much more effective than you think. We’ll have you know:

#1 – Being a couple in good shape

It’s common for there to be some disparity between couples in terms of physical condition. By training together, you’ll be eliminating the chances of that happening, since both of you will be working towards the same goals. Not to mention that both of you will become stronger, so opening bottles and moving furniture around shouldn’t pose a problem 😉 Nothing better that two matching halves, right? Plus, as an added bonus, you can use the #FitCouple hashtag on your Instagram Selfies…makes it all worth it.

#2 – Keeping an eye on your partner

Another great advantage in training together is control. It doesn’t just have to do with common gym “ mirin’ ”, watching leggings that fit snuggly around the glutes or huge pecs popping out from cut off shirts. You’ll be each other’s “spotter”. This means you’ll make sure that your significant other is performing his/her exercises correctly, while making sure that the workouts are strictly followed!

#3 – You’ll spend more time together

By working out together, you’ll eliminate that period of time where one of you would be at home waiting for the other to arrive. That ends that conflict of “You have plenty of time for the gym but none for me…”.

#4 – Holidays and sex become better

When you reach the physical appearance that you desire, you’ll have a hard time keeping your shirt on. Holiday destinations might take a turn for exotic destinations with high temperatures so a showcase of the body can be done, similar to what will probably happen in the bedroom. Higher temperatures, no shirts and lights on.

#5 – Your diet becomes easier to follow

If you’re both following a flexible diet, discussions about where to eat will probably end, or even those tough times where one of you is treating himself to an ice cream and the other has to pretend that nothing is going on. Once again, a similarity of goals makes everything easier, not only when you need to go shopping but also with meal preparation.
