Couple Workouts At Home, Fun Workout Exercises To Do Together

Couples workout

Time to get back into shape and what better accountability partner than your spouse. Whether the kids are in bed or it is early in the morning. What better way to reconnect than working out as a couple and doing something healthy together.

We know how business schedules can be so we are keeping this a two day a week workout plan. If you want more, a Bootcamp type class or some cardio will do on other days. Remember to try an exercise every other day, giving your body a chance to rest and rebuild.

Focus on the workout for one month. Then mix it up with something else. We always recommend mixing up your routine every month. The 80 / 20 principle applies to exercise as well. The most significant changes you will see is in the first three weeks.
