husband and wife

Hubby and I attend the gym twice a week together. We have our own weight training program that he ( not the gym) organised .... I hate upper body strength training..... or at least I did when we first started..... now Im seeing progress It's kinda cool. I get there after work and do some carido on the treadmill while I wait for him to finish work then we do about 50 mins of strength training. Upper body one day lower body and core the other. Been working well. There are days we dont feel up to it but the other one usually motivates where needed.

Yes! We walk everyday between 3-4 miles to the grocery store to pick up dinner plus whatever we eat for lunch the next day. We've been doing this for about 6 weeks. I've lost about 14.5 pounds, he's lost about 12. On the weekends, we walk about 15 miles total to various restaurants and shopping locations to get whatever we need that we didn't pick up earlier. We bring his hiking backpack to carry heavy stuff and use bags for the rest. We live around hills so we get a great leg and arm workout. We both hold each other accountable, I'm so happy he's supportive of my goal to be healthier! It sure helps when the love of your life is right there with you!

I definitely look forward to our workouts together. It's not nearly as much fun flying solo!!

I really wish my husband wanted to workout....I always ask him to train with me but he just doesnt want to. Maybe someday....

Since Hubby started tracking his food, it's so much easier for me! He stopped suggesting fast food for dinner. He even complains when the food I cook is not good for his macros. So I told him to help me with meal prep and he has! It's much more fun and takes half the time!

We have a 2 yo daughter and can't afford a babysitter too often, so once she's in bed, he goes for a walk while I workout in the living room. When he comes back, I'm usually done so he does a bit of free weights and body weight exercises while I take my shower.

He has been losing a lot more consistently than me, which puts me out a bit because I've been at it for longer than him. I know it's mostly because I have a hard time saying no to food offered at work. Knowing he'll do better than me pushes me to do better myself!

Yes and no. We can't work out together because he's only free to train at night and I can't train past 4pm or I'm awake all night. But we do talk about lifting, take walks together with the kids after dinner, and work together to keep a healthy diet.

This is our life as well, so we recap on our workouts at night. She does TRX at 0500 and I run/lift at 1800. I wake up the kids and do calisthenics before dropping them off at school. We want to start doing other fitness events together, but difficult to schedule with all the other things going on.

Today was actually the first day that me and my husband worked out together and I totally loved it. He had me laughing the whole workout which made the time speed by. I hope we can continue to do so in the future depending upon our schedules.

Sort of. We both eat well and support each other, but he won't do the MFP app with me anymore. We did it together like 6 months ago and we both did great and it helped having someone to remind you to log! But for some reason he doesn't want to do it anymore. Also can't go to the gym together, his work days are too busy and long, so he's going to get T25 so he can do something at home.
I have a lot more weight to lose than he does, so maybe he just doesn't have the motivation I have. He's actually pretty fit, but he wants to lose a few pounds and get back to being all muscley like he once was I guess.

Yes. We both track food here and have Fitbits. I am very glad we are on the journey together, but he is another man whose weight just went whoosh!

My husband is a runner and I am not (not only so not me, my knee would so utterly complain). However on his long weekend runs, I cycle with him (at the lowest gear possible) and we love that time together.
Other than that we keep eachother posted and schedule our excersises around the same times in the day or evenings.

As for MFP Yes he is using that and has been since early 2015. He freely admits that him being able to copy a large part of my diary daily has helped a lot. Still I am glad as we are both more helathy and are physically now in a good shape.
