Personally, I find working out on my own a tad boring. I mean, kudos to the dedicated ones out there who can drag themselves out of bed every single morning and never get tired of being their own motivation… BUT wouldn’t working out just be a whole lot more fun with your loved one? Well after you see these phenomenal GIFs involving some inspirational and very fit couples, we guarantee that date night you planned on the couch, in front of the TV with a giant bag of chips will turn into a workout-fuelled, sweaty affair!
1) The Mirror Push-up!
This particular one isn’t for the meek. Both of you need to have similar fitness levels (or similar upper body strength) and there’s no question when it comes to matching your partner’s pace! Hard to begin with, but you’ve got each other for motivation so never say never!
2) The Slap, Crunch And Kiss
This particular exercise is super cute! A little killer on the abs, but what better reward than a kiss of encouragement on your way up from a gruelling crunch?
3) The Jogging Duo
No technique when it comes to this! Just put on something comfy, grab your runners, oh and your partner. Get outdoors pronto – you’ll realise just how much fun it can be, having a jogging partner. This is the perfect way to unwind after a long, cooped up day at work and the post-run endorphins will keep you raring to go, EVEN in the bedroom! 😉
4) The Squat-Crunch
This one’s a little tricky so don’t be disheartened if it doesn’t come to both of you straight away. It’s all about patience, determination, team work and anything can be achieved! This killer combination lets your man work on his legs and gluts, while you work those abs. Remember to set goals and then smash them!
5) The Pull-Up Doublet
Once again, this is one that takes a while to master, so if you don’t get it right the first time, don’t let it dampen your spirits! Keep at it and encourage each other. The best feeling ever, is being able to achieve something together 🙂
6) The Core Combo
This exercise does wonders for your core! It does however, involve an immense sense of balance and teamwork. When you finally get around to mastering this, make sure you time yourself and keep powering through as many time goals as possible! Remember, it’s all about counter-balancing!
7) The Balancing Deuce
WARNING: This one’s not something you may see yourself achieving after just a try or two. However, never say never! This exercise requires a combination of core strength, balance and concentration! This could take time to master but either way – pretty cool, huh?
Team work goes a long way. There’s nothing more fulfilling than having your loved one by your side as you achieve your fitness goals together and it’s never too late to start!
Happy World Health Day! 🙂
