    As long as he's working out WITH me at the same time, yes. :-) I like the company.

    As heavy as I have been and still being quite heavy I never thought I could workout in front of (or with) anyone let alone my Beloved.
    But he has walked in on me from being outside---door leads to the living room.
    Surprisingly I wasn't that mortified lol
    Besides, he seems to encourage me & compliment me MORE when he sees that i'm kicking fattys ***.

    Our kids sometimes workout with me too.

    My hubby and I go to the gym together in the mornings. He rides the bike behind me when I do the elliptical or treadmill. He likes to send texts saying cute butt which makes me smile.

    Yes..I take bootcamp classes with my husband, and we have a great time. It's good bonding time so give it a try! If your husband corrects you ...ask him to write the correction down so you can read it at a later time ; )

    All the time but then I've been married for over 23 years. When we first got married I worked out with him b/c he was a personal trainer...maybe I don't count on this question.

    Nope. He thinks if I am not doing hours of cardio or 100 situps, it isn't worth it. But at least I am exercising!

    When I work out at home, I do it in front of my husband. He calls it the "bun show." :laugh: :laugh:

    My wife and i don't even work out at the same gym!! she does occasionally ask me questions, but mostly she just does her own investigating to get answers. the main thing is, we couldn't work out together anyway, with the kiddos not in bed until 8 or so, we mostly just alternate nights with one staying home, and the other working out. My wife has a good friend she lifts with, and I mostly work out by myself

    Hmm. I used to feel that way about working out in front of my hubby. But I got over that, my health and fitness are more important than my insecurities. I've found that all he does is stare and tell me how hot I am :tongue: . It has actually done wonders for my confidence :love:

    Well I like to swim when the weather is warm enough. He likes to watch especially if the boys aren't home and I am trying to avoid tan lines.

    Yes, we work out in front of each other all of the time. I find it to be encouraging because we support each other. =)

    I do it once in a while, but he tries to grope me during squats and straddle me during burpees. But it's fun when he does that. Actually, my dog "bothers" me more than my spouse. My dog knows the cues on the DVDs I use already and likes to stretch with me. One of the joys of working out at home is having a 70 lb dog going into downward dog with you. LOL


    lol awww I think my dog would just jump around trying to play with me. Reminds me of this video I saw: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g2rMAzWm3a8


    I do like working out with hubby. He's overseas so I can't and I miss it. He pushes me and is very encouraging, but he does also correct me a lot. Sometimes gets frustrating but honestly he knows more about proper form than I do, and he just wants me to reap the full benefits from it without injuring myself.

    My husband and I work out together at the gym in the mornings. we Crossfit, so we lift, run, burpee, lift, wall ball, pushups, lift, pullups, situps, lift, squat, rope climb, lift..... lol. you get the picture.

    i absolutely LOVE working out with my husband. we help each other stay correct on form and push one another to go as hard as we can, plus more. He's my favorite workout partner, always supportive and encouraging.

    it also makes it easier because then we are on the same page at home. we do the grocery shopping together, and help keep one another in check there too. he helps me make healthy recipes and clean up afterwards.

    all in all.... having your spouse take the journey with you makes the biggest difference in the world!!! i couldn't do as well as i do without him beside me!!

    best of luck to those who may have a tougher time with their spouses... my advice, let them see your excitement and progress, and eventually they will want in on it too!!

    I love working out with him. It's great to be together doing workouts. So what if we sweat? That's why there's a shower right? :) I would love to be fit enough to start doing more partner exercise. That's my goal to be able to do at least 1 real push up (no knees) and then work from there. Eventually able to do a partner push up together with him. That will be awesome.
