Motivate Him to Get Fit
Have you and your husband found it impossible to exercise since you had kids? And have you noticed that maybe you're not the only one who has gained a few post-baby pounds? Well, you're not alone. "When we don't have time to exercise, our fitness levels can go down," says Debi Pillarella, personal trainer, and American Council on Exercise (ACE) 2004 Fitness Director of the Year. Both you and your partner. Here are some clever ideas for motivating your man and helping him find time to fit in fitness. Exercise together Reinvent date night by hitting the gym and grabbing a salad instead of the usual dinner and a movie. (Hire a teenage neighbor to come over for a few hours, three nights a week.) "Working out together is also bonding time, and that can be really motivating," Pillarella says. If you can't get a sitter, put the baby in a stroller and take a walk together every evening. Try playful fitness outings like going to the batting cages or golfing. Or if you enjoyed activities like hiking or snowshoeing before you had kids, take them up again and bring baby along in a carrier or sled.
