According to Gary Chapman, there are five love languages that our hearts communicate in. And ‘quality time’ is one of them. When you believe that love is a journey of growing together, working out together slides in that extra quality couple time that also strengthens your romance along with your body.
Families that eat together stay together, and those who also work that food out together stay fit together. Therefore, while working out as a couple, you not only give each other time but also built a strong and healthy base for the family, you both dream to have.
There are many reasons why every couple should work out together, putting it in their daily planner and making it an event of importance. Let’s understand the prominent ones.
Reasons Why Every Couple Should Work Out Together
Health
Prevention is better than cure. Taking into account the lifestyle we all tend to follow, it is no wonder we are now the least healthy set of people on earth. Therefore, we have to focus extra hard on staying healthy. When you commit to someone to be there in their good and bad times, don’t you think you should actually be there? Taking care is the most important thing you can ever do for your partner.
Do you remember you promised to be there till the last breath of yours? Working out together is going to increase the chances of fulfilling that promise for longer. As a couple, you often eat the same and have the same lifestyle. So the effects on your health are going to be the same. So why not work out together too?
Happiness
Another good reason why every couple should work out together is that it brings happiness. It is proven that exercising produces changes in the parts of the brain that regulate stress and anxiety. This automatically leads to a much happier approach to your daily life. As a partner, we often find ourselves adjusting according to our partner’s mood, which is hard to predict. But if you start your day together with a workout, it assures that you both would be feeling much relaxed. What a brilliant idea to get both of you on the same page every day!
Weight Loss
#couplegoals is the new trend, and somewhere deep inside, we all want that #life with our partners. We plan things together, and completing them gives so much pleasure. Also, it is the foundation of the team you and your partner is supposed to be. Weight loss is such a very basic goal that every couple thinks of having. And do you have any better way to start this other than a couple’s workout? I bet you don’t.
People on the internet have made it so easy for us all. You need to google, and you can watch any possible workout designed for a couple, from 10 minutes for the busy ones to cardio, strength building, yoga, and even romantic ones too. And don’t tell me that you don’t want your partner to carry you in his arms often, ladies! You know you both need to be balanced and fit for this.
Better Sex Life
Exercising surely helps you stretch out your muscles. Do we have to say how that helps in your sex life? Also, exercising gives people a good sex drive.
Saves Money
If you are living together or are married, then finances make a huge part of what you go through as a couple. Often you plan to save for the dream trip you wish to have or the house that comes in your dream. But you also want to be physically well to enjoy all this. You also plan that picture-perfect body. Spending on gym memberships isn’t a good idea in that scenario. So working out together is going to save you a lot of money and bring you that dream more closer. Also, a partner-driven by the same goal as yours is going to make sure that you don’t skip the workout.
Fall In Love Again
Working out together is just another excuse to look in your partner’s eyes, help with that naughty strand of her hair, lay beside each other exhausted, give her/him a hand, bring a glass of water with yours, wipe the sweat from her and feel it steamy hot in the cold mornings. The heavy breathing wet by the sweat body of your partner is going to arouse your tired body. Working out together is going to bring back those initial days of physical attraction you two had before falling for each other’s hearts too.
So dear amazing romantic couples out there, do make it a priority to work out with your significant other. It’s an amazingly healthy way to keep it exciting and fun.
