With the divorce rate nearing 50% and a “healthy” relationship charting at the top of almost every wish list…it only makes sense that anything we can do to improve the chances of success should be expedited to the front of the line.

A reasonable body of research is beginning to paint a favorable picture. Those who workout together stay together.

Here are 10 reasons why:

Deeper connection.

Training together fosters your connection. It will give you both an opportunity to watch the other be challenged and succeed. It can build empathy and appreciation.

Reduced stress.

Research shows that those who workout regularly are better able to handle the normal daily stresses which we all face. Finding a productive release for stress vs. bringing it home makes the interaction with your loved one more peaceful and enjoyable.

Increased self-confidence.

Setting goals together like improved body composition or completing a Tough Mudder can give you a sense of empowerment and excitement about what might be possible when working as a team.

Improved intimacy.

More energy, an improved body image, and overall enhanced physical function which comes from training can lead to improvements in the physical aspects of your relationship 🙂

More quality time.

Having trouble finding time to spend with each other. Carving out a training schedule that works for both gives you a guaranteed “date” to look forward to multiple times each week.

Successful dieting.

You are likely following the same or similar eating plan. What can be an extremely difficult endeavor, now becomes a team effort and exponentially easier to stay the course with. Have you tried eating By Design?

Less fighting.

Taking your aggression out on the weight instead of projecting your anger into your relationship means fewer fights, less disagreements, and more time focused on what matters most.

Enjoy your downtime.

With a busy life that now includes a regular fitness schedule, you’ll be much more appreciative of the down time you have.

Enjoy shared values.

One of the most overlooked requirements for a successful relationship is shared values. It’s amazing how many relationships fail not because there’s a “lack of love” but instead because there’s a shortage of values both partners care deeply about. Training together gives a couple one more value they can fully engage in together.

Grow stronger together.

No question lifting together will make you physically stronger but it’s the sum all the components that are encompassed into a regular training program that will make your relationship stronger as well.

Make the investment in yourself by committing to a workout program right away and for a boost to your relationship, up the ante by adding your partner into the mix.

Ultimately, one major principle governs our ability to express health or moves us towards sickness and disease – adaptation.

The body’s ability to adapt to its environment is the centerpiece of life and it’s the nerve system that coordinates all the necessary changes, from raising or lowering blood pressure, altering body temperature, activating the immune system to contracting muscles and digesting food for energy.

If we can adapt to the level of stress in our lives, we continue to function at a peak level. If our adaptability decreases, stress begins to overwhelm us and we break down.

Believe it or not, posture is not only important for aesthetics and how we look to others, but it is also vital to the function and maintenance of every body part of your body, from your muscles and your joints all the way to organ health and longevity!

Identifying a postural distortion (and having a plan to correct it) as soon as possible is one of the fastest ways to avoid long-term damage, quickly boost energy, and safeguard your health over your lifetime.

Take a look around.  You won’t need to look far to see people of all ages and even fitness levels with deteriorating posture.

With more videos games, smart devices, and increased time sitting at desks, driving in cars, and being generally inactive…we’re not helping ourselves to solve these issues.

Experts are beginning to consider postural deviations and the health problems associated with the epidemic.
