    I think that moderation is key...

    I think if they want to they go for it. I have worked out for years and my husband won't step foot near any exercise equipment!

    Pro: Great way to motivate each other.
    After gym determination to ensure no one overeats crappy food after
    After gym sex = Thumbs Up
    Someone to run with

    Cons: If one gets in shape quicker / loses more weight (god help the other persons soul)
    Limiting time (if one person gets done quicker, sometimes it can cause the other one to feel rushed)
    Different goals / workouts
    The car is going to reek

    Besides, I would never hear the end of it when I'm on the elliptical and the hot girl in yoga pants gets on the treadmill in front of me.

    There is a 15 year difference between my husband and I, I am 24 he is 39. He is also super physical with his job where I sit all day at a desk. We have tried working out together and it just doesn't work. I tend to want to push myself harder then he does. We always leave and I feel like I hardly did anything compared to when I would work out by myself. I find that my gym time is just that, my time. I would try it both ways if you are considering working out with your partner.

    I LOVE to work out with my husband! I find him extremely sexy when he is lifting which makes for great post workout sex!

    We go to the gym together when it works out well, and occasionally I ask him for a spot or a form check. But generally we keep ourselves separate. I don't take huge rests between sets so I don't have time to split with him.
