>> Working out with a partner enhances the sense of well-being and combats stress, as in addition to the good hormones released during exercise, the exchange and synergy with a partner, friend, or professional helps to fight daily stress.
Scientific research shows that exercising reduces the risk of mild cognitive impairment by 35% and Alzheimer's by 51%, in addition to a series of other health-related issues, yet many people do not enjoy or feel motivated to start strength training.
Working out can be fun… Perhaps you do not like working out alone, and a good option that has been gaining followers is to exercise with someone else, whether it be a partner, friend, or physical educator. The idea is to make workouts interesting and motivate you to do them at least three times a week.
Personal trainer Liele Soares said that people who work out together, whether couples, pairs of friends, or those training with a physical educator, are generally more consistent in their workouts. “One encourages the other, to the point that going to the gym becomes a habit.” This way, excuses to skip physical exercise decrease, whether due to excessive work, studying, tidying up the house, taking care of children, or seeing a boyfriend. “It’s also a good time to catch up with a friend.”
“It works well when both enjoy the same activity. The goal does not need to be the same. The targets should always be individual. Each person's workout will be periodized according to their physical needs; the nice thing is knowing that the other is there, motivating and encouraging the workouts. Everyone benefits,” said Liele.
One tip that the personal trainer gave was that even when working out together, it is also important to establish a flexible schedule that accommodates both routines so they can stick to it. “If it’s not possible to coordinate once in a while, each should make an effort to go alone. The important thing is to maintain continuity so that neither party becomes demotivated,” she concluded.
Nutritionist Karina Gouvea said that couples who work out together have a great opportunity to engage in physical activity and avoid fattening programs, as they support each other and motivate one another when one of them feels the famous “laziness.” Moreover, one thing leads to another, and those who are working out and seeking to feel good end up being more mindful, eating better, and even seeking nutritional guidance.
