It was time to start working out. It was actually a goal that I had when we got married a year ago and I had free access to the gym at Jeff’s work. With us living within 5 minutes of his company, it was ideal. They were open 24/7, they even have classes a few times a week. It’s not 24 Hour Fitness or the YMCA, but for a company gym, its fabulous! And free!
But we never did get me signed up to go. So I didn’t. But a month or so ago, I asked Jeff if he’d take me to go get signed up. He didn’t have to work out with me. He just had to be okay with me using his company gym and taking off in the evenings or weekends to go work out. He was more than okay with that.
He’s even decided to join me! So, 3 times a week, we go to the gym after work. Since he’s already there at work, we drive separately. We don’t work out together or anything. He does his thing – mostly on the weight machines. I do mine – mostly on the elliptical. We just start at roughly the same time. We end at roughly the same time. Let me tell you: it makes all the difference in the world to have a supportive husband. I never expected him to work out with me. I didn’t even really think about him doing that. Just wanted him to be okay with that. His joining me though, not only does it make working out possible, but more fun and it’s a new shared hobby for us! Love that!
I always love working out with somebody, although I never like to really work out ‘with’ them. Starting and finishing around the same time is perfect. Love this!
