ASK CHRISTINE

“My husband is more motivated when I exercise with him. What can we do as a couple?”

Christine says: It’s fantastic that you are both motivating each other. You can push each other to reach your full potential and stay on track. Try these for starters:

Boxing With just a pair of gloves and pads you can hit away your frustrations, get your heart rate up and improve your coordination, core, muscular endurance and balance all at the same time. Boxing can work every area of your body by using a combination of front punches, hooks, upper cuts (for upper body and knees) and kicks (for lower body). And it’s a lot of fun!

Dancing This is so enjoyable you’ll soon forget you’re exercising. Think steps and beats instead of set and reps.

Weight training Having a training partner when you do weights is brilliant. You are each other’s personal trainer! You can watch each other’s technique, encourage each other to work harder and pass the weights. Enjoy!
