The benefits of exercising with your partner bolsters your mind, body and relationship.
For years the question “How do I get my partner to work out with me?” Has been asked, so let’s talk the science and psychology surrounding couple workouts!
Fitness training builds accountability and there’s no better person to hold you accountable than your spouse.
Statistically; exercising as a couple doubles performance. Whether it’s not wanting to look weak or competing during the workout, the results are simply amazing!
When you experience something new together, like a new workout routine or reaching a goal, it strengthens your bond.
Our brains release dopamine, the feel-good chemical, when we try new things. And, when you’re with your partner, it links that great feeling with them.
Working out together puts you both in a great mood. In fact couples who do fitness together end up “feeling more satisfied with their relationships and more in love with their partner”.
Exercising as a couple is a form of intimacy, working out together whilst; sweating, breathing heavy, moving quickly, and releasing endorphins, is very intimate!
Exercise provides physiological arousal, stimulating our brains in a way similar to lovemaking. Therefore, working out as a couple provides an “arousal-attraction effect”.
Another relationship benefit of working out with your spouse is increased emotional bonding through mimicry, something scientists describe as following the same movements together.
Time is our most precious asset, right.
Did you know the average couple spends 35 minutes a week total having meaningful, non-logistical conversations?
You can treat your workout as a date and create some fun memories along the way.
