The same is true for your motivation – or lack thereof. If missing a workout is no biggie for one partner, then it can either create resentment in the other partner or cause him or her to start slacking off, too. Not to mention the guilt trip that one might inflict on the other for missing a workout. Consider your "gym personalities." Perhaps you like to take it easy with some yoga, and he likes to deadlift all day, every day. That may not work out when it comes to motivating one another. Give joint workouts a try a few times to see how it goes before committing to a schedule with your significant other. Ensure that you both feel supported and motivated, not competitive and belittled. Perhaps you can compromise with motivating one another to get to the gym, then go your separate ways when you walk in the door. - << Prev
