How do I get my wife to lose weight with me?

[MaxPrime]

We've been married for a year and both of us are about 20 pounds over weight from our ideal weight. I've been in very good shape before so I'm pumped to get back into it but my wife is just fine with walking on the treadmill for 20 minutes maybe 3 times a week. That alone won't lose weight. How can I get her to do more intensive cardio like sprint workouts or other workouts that can help lose weight?

No matter what I'm keeping her, we are a great couple and both understand being healthy is a good thing. I just need help with pushing her a liitle out of her confort zone in the exercising world. Any tips or things you girls like doing that has helped lose weight through the gym?

you could do fun things that get your heart pumping like hiking, swimming, rollerblading , etc. these are all physical activities but if you make it seem more like an outing it won't feel like exercise. if you have a active lifestyle she will lose weight without even realizing it. also eat healthy but satisfying food- I bought this healthy cookbook and all the food is so delicious, so it's not a drag to stay healthy by only eating minimal or bunny food lol. hope this helps :)

80% of weight loss is the diet.

Convince her to try interval-training, it's very fun. Rotate cardio machines regularly as the threadmill is severely overhyped. Cross-trainers and bikes are a lot safer and in certain ways more effective.

Ask her to go with you for support and say how it'd be great time to bond etc. And you could throw in how hot the sex would be if you both have athletic bodies for motivation...

how about you start making dinner and breakfast every couple of days? the best way to lose weight is to eat properly.

Any exercise is better than none. But try turning it into something fun. Like a friendly competition. Also make sure that your diets are good too.

Perhaps suggesting something that doesn't sound horrible? Like Zumba, or water aerobics?
