Why should you work out as a couple | IFAST

Today's couples have a more fancy way to show their love, that is, couples fitness. If two people urge each other to exercise together, it will undoubtedly make our fitness more active and proactive.

When couples work out together, they can say goodbye to the boring fitness mode and make each other better. Many people give up halfway because of the boredom and boredom of fitness, and many people give up because they cannot face the hardships of fitness alone. Couple fitness has changed from one person to two people, encouraging each other, competing and surpassing each other. From then on, there is someone to accompany you in fitness, and the two people get better and better together.

 

 

Advantages of couple workout

Reduce sports injuries

Studies have shown that when people meet or touch the opposite sex they like, adrenaline will be stimulated, happiness hormones will be released, and stress hormones will be reduced. Therefore, it can help improve sports performance and reduce sports injuries.

Encouragement and motivation

Your spouse may be the best motivation for getting off the couch to work out, especially if the workouts will be done together. A recent study found that couples who had a sense of being "together" were more effective at encouraging each other to exercise every day. Additionally, the couple's shared beliefs about exercise influenced their efforts to stick to a program.

 

 

Accountability

It's easy to skip a workout if no one knows you're skipping it. But that won't happen if you work out with your spouse. Your lover will hold you accountable. Your wife or husband can also provide helpful reminders about upcoming workouts and even help you with your daily chores to get you working out if necessary.

Together time

If you feel like you don't have enough time alone with your spouse, a couples workout could be the perfect solution. Exercising is a form of intimacy, so doing a quick jog or diet bike together can help you feel more connected — even if the workouts are short.

 

Top 5 rules for couples working out together:

1. No Expectations: Remember that you and your significant other have different fitness levels and abilities. She can do well, but you may not be at her level, and vice versa.

2. Learn to enjoy exercising without expecting how it will go.

3. Have fun!

4. When you let go of all expectations, you can enjoy time together. Workout can be fun in a way you never experience when training alone.

5. Laugh, encourage your partner and take a moment to enjoy a higher level of fitness as a couple.

For two people who like each other, in their sweet love, they want to leave good memories for each other, so that they will have better feelings in retrospect in the future.

For fitness couples, the days of sweating and progressing together will be an unforgettable memory that is different from daily life.
