RIght now I'm in the honeymoon phase with her so I can't workout with her due to all of the cupcaking and "spotting" that I did when we last went together...maybe if/when the novelty wears off we'll be able to, especially since we know what regimens work for us, (she was heavy into fitness before we met).

I wish I could, but our schedules are different. Also she hates my gym and I hate hers.

We go to the gym together and take hiit classes together but as far as our routine workouts my wife does her thing and I do mine. Our bodies are developed different so we don't have the same routine. I like to do my own thing and my workouts are more methodical and focus more on form rather then how much weight I'm pushing. She cares more about how much weight she's doing. Two different approaches. Plus I play a lot of basketball too.

For sure...I wouldn't expect people to be doing the same routine cause usually guys and girls are looking for different results etc., but it's nice to go there together, even when you're doing your own thing...just to be there at the same time.

The wife and I have been lifting weights together for a month or two. I've been going for years, but she's just getting back to the gym (she's always been an off-and-on runner, but never really into weights).

I think the plan is to get her comfortable and with a good understanding of how to mix up lifts ... then we can go together and workout separately (or somewhat separately).

I'm good with being there to spot her, encourage her or whatever - but, when we do the same routine, I'm switching weights between EVERY SET of every squat/dead/bench. So, for a deadlift, I'm basically switching between 315 and 85. Not that fun.

But, it's worth it if it gets her back into the gym. I think it has more mental benefits than physical.

Yea Im thinkin how to work through that. Might have her do different exercises when its our day so we dont have to share. That would get very annoying
