Contorting into a sports bra :blushing:

Hi Caljur Thanks for the response. you have a great point! i'm becoming to come to terms with the fact that he's never going to be as enthusiastic about exercise, of any type as i am. i'm still going to encourage him to do more outdoor pursuits, like walking, cycling, with maybe a few raquet sports thrown in. in the…

Hi Maryloo i think you've hit the nail on the head, OH is very shy at the best of times, so i think he feels selfconcious, and maybe a little intimidated by the whole gym thing. He bought me some free weights, medicine balls and other equipment, so i might encourage him to use these more and combine them with more execise…

Fuzz: dont think i haven't tried telling him to !!! :laugh:

Hi Rae we're currently doing half an hour of cardio followed by circuit training. I know that free weights and heavy strength training would hold no interrest for him and if anything would definately scare him out of the gym completly, he's such a wuss :embarassed: . i think for now we're going to try something alternative…

I think you could be right. A change of scenery may be required. We normally walk for a few miles each weekend day. Going forward we may start to bike the course instead. We'll see how we get on with that.

You may have a good point there...maybe i just need to leave him to find his own way, hopefully it wont lead back to his packets of cigarettes! i 'm hoping that once he starts to see his body changing and can see results then he'll start to enjoy going. i can live in hope!

I get your way of thinking, for me this is what i'm doing but to be honest, this would scare him off even more,:wink:

Thanks Jenn. We tend to walk the dog at weekends around a small forest,this weekend we'll mix things up a bit and try one or two of your suggestions.

Thanks Shannon, yeah he certainly finds it boring. Will see how he feels about doing some outside exercises :wink:

Thanks Starls, glad i'm not alone. :tongue:
