Hi, I’m Bailey Mosier. This is your EmpowHER HER Daily Dose.
Are you struggling to find the motivation to hit the gym? Plenty of research has shown that working out with a gym buddy helps you to stick to your fitness goals. And psychology researchers agree that working out with your boyfriend or husband can work wonders for your relationship.
In one survey on exercise habits by the President’s Council on Physical Fitness and Sports and the Sporting Goods Manufacturers Association, 44 percent of respondents named their significant other as the strongest motivating force to exercise — stronger, even, than a doctor’s advice.
And researchers from the University of Denver found that couples who have fun together, by stepping away from responsibilities like childcare, bills and work, report happier marriages in the longrun.
The happiest couples are those who like to exercise together, yet also give each other the space to exercise apart. So, maybe you want to go to a pilates class and he wants to lift weights. Go do your own thing and then afterward, go for a walk together. It will work wonders for your waistline and your relationship.
That wraps up your EmpowHER HER Daily Dose. Join me here at EmpowHER.com every weekday for your next dose of women’s health.
