The Couple that Sweats Together...

... Stays healthy together. So make your next date night (or day) an active one, with these fun, high-energy ideas.


Plopping on the couch together after a hard day at work sure is cozy. Too bad it does nothing for your waistline. Looking for a way to stay fit and connect with your other (we won't say better!) half? BodiGlyphiX Couple Packages provide some much-needed bonding time while also helping you amp up your fitness level and lose weight.  You and your special person go to www.BodiGlyphiX.com and complete our FREE Online Assessment. 

Being active with your partner creates an opportunity to have fun together, reduce stress and develop fitness and good health.  A marriage grows when partners enjoy similar interests. Exercise together, and you can motivate and encourage one another without feeling guilty that you're taking time away from your family to include exercise in your life.

Working out with a partner not only improves the chances of reaching fitness goals, but also is good for the relationship.


"It is a way of physically sharing an experience with each other, an often refreshing and much needed alternative to more verbal means of connecting, allowing couples to just be with each other," said Wendy Whelihan, a licensed marriage and family therapist in Edina.

And let's not forget the obvious benefits that exercise brings to a couple's sex life. "Exercising together is a way to be engaged in a real way and step away and be unplugged," said Nicole LaVoi, associate director of the Tucker Center for Research on Girls and Women in Sport at the University of Minnesota. "Research shows it can improve sexual health, as well."


Working out with a significant other isn't for everyone, however. Fitness experts and psychologists say it's important to find something that both people like to do.

Here are some tips:

• Try to limit any tendency to compare and compete -- keep it light and playful.


• Don't judge or manage your partner's progress. Don't say things like, "You haven't worked out for three days, don't you think you should?" Or, "You'd burn more calories if you stood upright on the elliptical machine." Unless your partner is asking for your opinion, keep evaluative comments to yourself.

• Even if you're at different fitness levels, you can work out in harmony. Consider spinning, yoga and even bowling.

• Be encouraging and flexible.

If you can't do these things, it may be better to work out separately.
