Why my husband won’t work out with me

A friend recently asked why I never post @phildiederich working out with me—well, that’s because he goes to a different gym!

Truth is, he doesn’t want to work out with me! 😂 And that’s okay—I appreciate that he still hits the gym three times a week, even though he doesn’t actually enjoy it. In our 60s, staying active is more important than ever so we can keep enjoying life for years to come!

Back in my 20s and 30s, I was a fitness instructor, so I feel completely at home in a gym. I’m also very comfortable correcting Phil’s form… but let’s just say he’d rather poke his eyes out with forks than be critiqued by me. 😆

I don’t mind working out solo—I can easily spend a couple of hours at the gym, while Phil’s limit is more like 45 minutes tops.

Do you work out with your spouse or partner, or do you each do your own thing?

Una amiga me preguntó recientemente por qué nunca publico a @phildiederich entrenando conmigo… ¡pues porque va a un gimnasio diferente!

La verdad es que él no quiere entrenar conmigo. 😂 Y está bien, valoro que vaya al gimnasio tres veces por semana, ¡a pesar de que no le gusta! A nuestra edad, mantenerse activo es más importante que nunca para seguir disfrutando de la vida durante muchos años más.

En mis 20 y 30 fui instructora de fitness, así que me siento completamente a gusto en un gimnasio. También me siento muy cómoda corrigiendo la postura de Phil… pero digamos que él preferiría sacarse los ojos con tenedores antes que recibir mis correcciones. 😆

No me importa entrenar sola, puedo pasar fácilmente un par de horas en el gimnasio, mientras que el límite de Phil es de unos 45 minutos como mucho.

¿Entrenáis con vuestra pareja o preferís hacer ejercicio por separado?
