Boost Your Relationship And Weight Loss

I'm not sure if you're aware of this, but your relationship can have a significant impact on your physical health. Ideally, your partner would be exercising regularly, eating healthily and encouraging you to make positive lifestyle changes. But what if that were not the case?

Well, that shouldn't be an excuse to gain unwanted weight or eat poorly. It all boils down to this: You need to take charge, with your partner as a supporting force. Regardless of whether the relationship has taken its toll on your physical health or vice versa, you will start to make notable improvements in both areas once you both embark on a fitness routine.

Studies have proven that exercise promotes the release of hormones called endorphins, which help improve your mood, calm your mind and act as a powerful antidepressant. Emotionally, this can help you have better interactions with the people in your life, and thus better relationships. If you've experienced that post-exercise 'high' after great workout, you'll know what I mean.

Struggling to get him involved? Start small instead of rushing headfirst into an exercise program. I ofter hear of complaints such as "contrasting schedules", "work commitments" or "different fitness goals", making exercising together impossible. Well, if you have time to dine or watch TV together, you should able to find the time to exercise together.

If you're into fitness and healthy eating, it can be difficult to come to terms with the fact that your partner isn't. What's just as difficult: Trying to change someone who isn't ready for it. Instead of the usual candlelit dinner, why not sign up for a dance class together? What about cooking lessons or an outdoor adventure, such as hiking, biking or white-water rafting? These activities will benefit your body and help you bond: plus, they sure beat the same old movie night loaded with extra calories from popcorn and soft drinks.

Feed off each other's energy and motivation, and keep one another accountable for every step the both of you take. Even better, do something different, like experiment with fun activities that the both of you would enjoy. The benefits: You'll both not only look and feel healthier; you'll also gain more confidence personally, socially and professionally.

If you're single, why not get a workout buddy? Support from a partner will leave you more likely to succeed!
