I have tried everything
sometimes he does yoga with me.
He's NOT fat. he's nearly 6 foot and 132 pounds. He's a skinny little thing.
but he has no desire to build muscle.
I love him so so much, but I'd just like to see him WANT to be a bit fitter.
He doesn't WANT to go to the gym, or do ab workouts because he thinks he doesn't need to.
and he doesn't NEED to. before you all get over worked, like i love him just the way he is.
It'd just be nice to see some muscle, or see him try a little.
what do you guys do with your partners to get them into fitness?

Sometimes it works if you don't really say anything about being healthy, but if you eat healthy around him and casually talk about whatever exercise you did that day, it can subtly influence them. Like my boyfriend, who used to eat reallyyy unhealthy, makes an effort to eat healthier now, especially around me.
And I've got him hooked on flax seed now after he read up on the health benefits of it (it also helps that I made him cookies with flax seed in them instead of eggs...haha).
