I walk so much that I don't really need to workout .............that is if the idea is just to stay generally fit. The only time I ever had my abs visible were as teenager and I doubt that I'll ever see them again.
That all being said, I want to go to the gym and sweat a little. Maybe make my calves a little bigger (if we are talking aesthetics). Frankly I don't find the motivation to so, neither can I find a reliable partner whom I can keep up with and vice versa. Couples who workout together are rare and they make me a bit jealous because then you always have your gym partner handy.............hell you are sleeping with them :-)
Naaaaaaaah, just kidding. Working out with your husband/wife might seem ideal but I am pretty sure that less that 1% of the couples might be able to do so. Have you tried to partner with your wife in the gym before? It seems kind of difficult, with a kid in the mix.
We used to work out a long time ago together but it has been a few years. First jobs got in the way and then, baby :)
