Workout Ideas With Your Partner

Wondering how working out as a couple might work in the real world, especially when you’re both at different fitness levels

Sign up for a class together.

While a class like salsa dancing is perfect for couples, other classes will work just as well. Consider trying something new that interests you both: martial arts, an indoor climbing clinic, yoga, adult swim lessons, attend the gym together or other sports of your choosing.

Take part in cardio activities.

Do cardio that allows you both to work at your own intensity level. Group classes like Spinning allow each participant to cater the workout to their fitness level, meaning that you both get the workout you want easy, challenging, or somewhere in the middle.

Gym together.

Do cardio side-by-side. At the gym, simply pick two cardio machines next to each other and work towards your individual goals. You’ll be together but can each work at your own speed, intensity, incline and resistance level.

Bonding outdoors.

When walking or jogging outside, try intervals. If you are a slow jogger and your significant other is faster, intervals will be perfect for both of you. Work at one partner’s faster pace for a few minutes, and then recover at the other person’s slower pace. Intervals are also a great way to improve your fitness level and speed over time.

Strength Training.

When strength training at the gym, “work in” with one another between sets. About 60 seconds of rest between sets is beneficial anyway. So while you rest, your partner can complete one set of the exercise. Switching the weights to your own level is quick and easy to do on most machines.

The great outdoors.

Create a more active lifestyle together by picking up new hobbies. Consider hiking, canoeing, tossing a football, recreational cycling, rafting, camping, and just enjoying a nice, leisurely walk at the end of the day, all of these beat an evening in front of the TV.
