do you work out infront of your other half?

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

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

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 ;-)

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 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.

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!

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!

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:

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!!!

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!

right now my work outs are mostly the fact i clean the house a couple hours a day and walk to the store and back all the time and chase after a 3 year old constantly. but im wanting to start getting more in, but cant afford a gym membership right now and there is just no way i could do actual exercising or working out infront of my fiance. im going to have to go into the bedroom and there are no locks in any room in our house but make him promise not to come in and keep our 3 year old from pulling open the door constantly. so far i lost over 90 pounds since end of june through mostly diet and walking but wanting to start trying to tone up some, but considering we cant do the gym thing and i have none of the work out dvd stuff.. does anyone have any ideas? lol, i keep thinking about like, the floor exercises they had on tv all the time in the late 80s and 90s when i was young i remember seeing them. leg lifts and arm spins and waist bends and steping up on a box and back down and all that stuff. but i feel super lame, even if doing it by myself. but i really cant think of anything else i can do at home, by myself. crunches, pushups, legl lifts, running in place, turn up music loudly, dance like an idiot with jumping around and stuff for 45 minutes, thats what i did before when i lost 80 pounds in 6 months, that was years ago though. so, anny suggestions?

I used to do that alot infront of my then boyfriend.
Discovered that "naked yoga" is a nono if i plan to ever finish my routine.
Now I dont live with my SO, but when we are together i wait for him to gtfo.
I do work out infront of the mirror all the time tho <.<''

My Hubby plays tooooo much! I feel like hes not taking my working out serious. I'm not exercising for his entertainment. He is very distracting, expecially when I really would rather be doing something else. Having to tell him to stop breaks my concentration and causes me to work harder to get back into the groove to the workout. Not to mention the questions/conversations he wants to have while I;m working out and He's sitting down playing a game on the laptop or eating!

Yes, we usually work out together. He will also sometimes run with me if I am going in the evening or in the morning because he doesn't like me alone on the trail at those times.

My husband and I do weights together 2-3 times per week at the gym typically and I love it. He is like my own personal trainer, he corrects me on form and always pushes me to do more. He is largely responsible for the gains I have made with weights. I do my cardio and bootcamp classes separate.
