Relationship Goals: Training With Your Significant Other

4 Benefits Of Working Out With Your Significant Other

1. More Accountability

There is no better person to hold you accountable than your partner, especially when you are in the gym. Those who are held accountable for their workout routines are more likely to be successful in their efforts. When you only have to answer to yourself, it can be much easier to hit snooze on your alarm or skip a workout when you are feeling lazy or unmotivated. When you or your partner feel this way, the other can take charge and encourage the other to get in a good workout. The motivation of two people aligned in a shared goal is powerful. Another accountability benefit of working out with your significant other is you have to make a schedule. The extra planning and set times to fit workouts into both of your schedules will make you more likely to succeed. 

2. Spend Quality Time Together

Life gets busy and it can be difficult to find quality time to spend with your significant other. Instead of mindlessly sitting in bed together scrolling on your phones or watching a TV show you have seen over and over again, take advantage of that time to go to the gym together. When you are exercising with your special someone, it is guaranteed time together, and more quality time helps keep your relationship strong and healthy.

3. Healthy Competition Can Be Fun

Do you feel like the spark in your relationship needs to be reignited? A little healthy competition can bring some playfulness back into your relationship. When life gets busy you can often forget about the flirtatious and playful behaviour that originally bonded you and your partner.  Working out together can bring that back in the form of some fun, friendly competition. You can challenge your partner to races or challenge each other to see who can crush their weight loss goals the fastest to keep your workouts and relationship interesting and fun!

4. Build Trust And Intimacy

By working out together, you are not only spending quality time together and helping each other get stronger, but you are also building trust with each other and intimacy in your relationship. You both have a common goal of improving your fitness or losing weight, and in doing so, the process of working out together will help you learn more about your own body and your partner's body. This will help with trust, intimacy, and attraction within your relationship.
