do you work out infront of your other half?

Ely82010

Nope, my husband doesn't go the gym with me and if he does, his workouts are totally different than mine. He only does the treadmill, bike and maybe some machines. He doesn't take any fitness classes with me or alone either,

I just do my own thing.

Sure do! My man works-out with me 6 days a week. We lift together. We do our cardio together.

Yep! I am usually on the treadmill or elliptical while he drinks beer and watches. Lol...

moustache_flavored_lube

Yes I do!!! My other half bounces and jiggles through all my workouts

Yep! I am usually on the treadmill or elliptical while he drinks beer and watches. Lol...

mine does the same thing! lol

All the time. He usually doesn't comment unless I ask first though. But he's seen me give birth 3 times so working out in front of him is NBD anymore ;-)

acrue21

We workout together as a team.

I love working out in front of my husband because I go even harder then...LOL!! I try to show off in front of hm. So on the nights when I feel like I"m going to half *kitten* do my workout, I ask my husband to come and watch me and he doesn't have a clue that I'm using him..LOL!!

I always work out with my fiancé! We do cardio and weight training together and it is very motivational. I just started going to the gym a year ago for the first time (with his encouragement) and he has taught me a lot about lifting. I love working out with him and getting to have my best friend with me even when I'm working out. He always tells me how well I'm doing and is very supportive

I have been married for 36 years. While I prefer to be alone to work out, I will work out in front of him. He likes to talk, and I like quiet to get in my zone. I hate talking and exercising. He used to correct my form when I was starting out years ago, which I was ok with. He has seen me at my worst, and working out is not me at my worst.

Not really, but only because I go to a gym, and he works out at home....but it wouldn't bother me to do so.

We're doing a stairclimb event this Saturday - our first fitness event together, so that should be interesting!

I lift and workout with my fiance all the time. we both have similar weightloss goals so it makes sense for us to do it. there are times when it gets a little "tense" but its usually just me being sensitive about him losing weight faster than me or something like that.

If you guys don't have much experience working out together, start small, like going for a walk, or trying it once a week or something.

Also, talk to him about your concerns. Your spouse should be supportive of your goals, and if they aren't, then you have us to help motivate you!

My husband and I have run together, p90x together, insanity together, lifting, kettlebells, etc. We try to out do each other. I have the "anything you can do I can do better" mentality so I will bust my butt trying to out do him. Many days, I pay for it afterward!

I could and I have (I use DVD's and YouTube), but I prefer not to. I'm somewhat uncoordinated at times and I feel embarrassed when I'm alone and mess up! lol The biggest reason I wouldn't want him watching is when it comes to moves I have to modify or can't do yet. I don't know if he's paying attention or not, but that makes me uncomfortable - even though he wouldn't say anything. He's usually just sits on the couch with his laptop, so he just has to go in the bedroom with his laptop. He's not inconvenienced that much and respects my wanting privacy. Plus I have to move the living room table all the way back to the couch to have enough room, so he'd have nowhere to put his legs!

Right now I am just really doing yoga and I prefer to do it alone and with no one around. I do it when my son takes his nap so he is not stressing me out. lol

My husband would make everything sexual, and while the thought is nice, I need to focus on *me* and the changes I am making.

Now if we go walking, I am more than happy to have him with me. If we ever get a gym membership, I wouldn't mind him coming either for that.

This is the first time I've posted publicly but I couldn't resist!

Exercise bike, yes. (while he plays Xbox)

30 Day Shred or burpees/stride jumps, HELLS NO! I love him to much to subject him to that - that waits until he's on afternoon shift. :bigsmile:

sally_jeffswife

If I was lifting or doing kettlebells I would but for other dance type ones and aerobic type ones I don't cuz he would tease me too much and say things like Work it Baby and that's too distracting

Kat5343

I would not work out in front of a mirror yet.... so if I don't want to see myself, I sure don't want him to see me either!!!

TrailRunner61

Hell no, he already wants to jump my bones too often.

Melanie12081

its nice to see that some of you do work out together x and its not that he would be mean hes the jokey kind of person so he thinks its funny when he says something. he would probabbly grope me too and put me off my workout, lol

My husband is the "funny guy" too - but he's never made a joke about me working out, so he might surprise you. (He will make comments about a "cute butt" and stuff - but that's about it.) It's nice though, because he sees how hard I'm working and he really tries to be supportive, especially at meal times and when I'm thinking about cheating really bad, and he always throws in an "I'm really proud of you babe - you're doing great!" He doesn't work out as much - so when he does make silly comments, I just call him "chubs" ;-) and sometimes it gets him off the couch and back in the gym and eating healthy!
