I met my hubby at the gym, so yes we are into the same activity. The only thing we don’t have in common is that he runs and I don’t. But we both love to lift!

I’m a vegetarian and my fiancé hates vegetables! He’ll occasionally try them if I hide them under some sort of sauce, but otherwise none for him!
He is into exercising with me and we going running together. He has a history of running so I feel like I hold him back, but he’s so supportive and encouraging and keeps me going. He’s also up for anything!

My husband is not healthy. What I can do is not keep certain things in the house. Poor guy hasn’t had butter in ages. I don’t buy it, he can’t use it. He has high cholesterol so he really has to watch it.

My boyfriend and I are both competitive and like to exercise so now we’re starting to challenge each other in various outlets such as running. He’s teaching me to surf because he’s amazing at it, and it SUCH a work out.

I’ve definitely helped him improve his eating habits, but he also wanted to. It’s also easy because we both love cooking.

My partner is not at all into sports. The most we do together is walk the dog. And that is a leisurely stroll. He thinks that anyone who runs for fun (or does marathons or any race forthat matter as I do) is completely mad. He can’t understant why we would put that much pressure on our own body! I have tried expaining the rush. But it falls on deaf ears!!! I wish he was though! It would make it easier.

Hunni eats healthy with me because I cook it. He admits he ate like crap before out of laziness. McDonald’s is fast and roasting broccoli is slower. I remember he called me one time when we were long distance for the summer to let me know he had eaten broccoli someone made him and thought I’d be proud.

He liek the results fitness gives him but try as he might he hated running. He likes biking more but not in races.

The boy likes to be fit, and have fun with it- water sports, football, and we’ll hit the gym together!

I taught my fiance yoga, and he’s teaching me how to swim right now and we run together, but your post reminded me of when he bought me pink bowling shoes and a matching pink ball to try to get me into bowling (he won a national championship tournament when he was 18) and I also bust them out from time to time, but its so funny going to a bowling alley with all my own stuff – I feel like people expect me to be good and if the object of the game were to get straight guttaaahs then they would be correct! 😉

Caitlin, you really should consider taking a running workshop, like Chi Running or even one of the barefoot running clinics that seem to be popping up everywhere these days. (Not that I run barefoot, but you can use barefoot principals in shoes.) 🙁 I had knee pain and wore prescription orthotics, but they stopped working after a while and the knee pain came back, bad… I’ve had a lot of success reducing knee pain without the need for orthotics after taking a Chi Running workshop and really focusing on running form. I took the workshop in January, and after doing an adventure relay race last week, I felt so great that I signed up for a half marathon! It made such a huge difference in my recovery. This year, I didn’t have to recover at all (just catch up on sleep, lol). Last year, I hurt so bad that I quit running for 6 months.

Worst case scenario, it won’t help and you have your knee sleeves, which you know work. But if it does help, you could be saving yourself from potential future injuries.

You can also find Pose Method workshops in some areas, but I couldn’t find any nearby, which is part of why I did the Chi Running workshop.

I don’t want to come off as criticizing, because I’m not; it’s just that every time I see photos of your knee sleeves I feel so bad that you’re in pain without them, and have to be so careful about icing. 🙁 I know what knee pain is like, and it sucks!!!!

While I’m on my soapbox, I’d also like to recommend Born to Run as a fun summer read. It’s a page-turner and totally inspirational at the same time. 🙂

Oh! And, Chi Running is apparently really popular with triathletes, because it makes the running transition of a triathlon easier!

Happy cycling!

My hubby lifts weights and will occasionally run but for the most part he is my cheerleading squad and support system!

I desperately try to get my husband interested in working out like me. He’s not big into exercise, so I do all I can to either trick him into working out, force him, or beg him. All three work equally well.

I do the same thing to my husband. I pretty much take whatever I can get out of him 😉 Of course, after I beg him to do something with me, he’s always naturally faster & better- so aggravating haha!

Good luck tonight! I hope you inspire many a youth 🙂

I think I am the luckiest wife on the planet bc Brian eats (almost) anything I put infront of him… The only thing he doesn’t care for is plain steamed brussel sprouts (but loves them roasted) and quinoa. He love riding our bikes and always encourages me to ride faster and longer. The only thing e refuses to do with me as far as what I do for excersize is going to te gym. He haaaaaaates it! He said about a year ago that he’s never, ever doing cardio in the gym. lol

Loving the photography skills! My bf is very much more into weights than cardio exercise so I do al my running by myself. He has said that he wants to start running but I know that if he comes with he he’ll so moan all the time! We both eat quite healthily and i think we influence each other. I often have a much more healthier lunch than him as he has a big box of leftovers from dinner the previous evening and I have a salad/healthy sandwich. But he often eats fruit for dessert and I need to do that more instead of the chocolate that I usually crave.
Hope the HOBY presentation goes well.

My hubby is becoming the cycling fanatic. I’d taking running over the bike any day.
He also likes golf. Again…give me running.

As a single guy, I cannot really contribute to this conversation :O[ However, if I did have a girlfriend, I would like her to take care of herself and eat healthily because I care about her, but she is her own person and I cannot control her. If she wants to have a Big Mac I am certainly not stopping her!

I do not think I would want her to train or ride with me thought. My exercise time is time for me to drain my brain and release stress so definitely “me time.”

My boy loves to exercise, play sports, and run…but he believes that tater tots and hot dogs are actually food groups and doesn’t understand why I drink bright GREEN smoothies and eat tofu! Maybe some day…a girl can dream 🙂
