Some Things Are Better Than Sex.....Not Many Though

Being a personal trainer for the last 9 year's, you hear nothing but stories about spouses,significant others and concubines. " I love my husband" , " I hate my wife" , " Kyle, never get married". Mind you all of this has been said right in front of me to one another. Awwwkward!  It might be possible that some of that spousal frustration comes from a lack of communication, limited appreciation, non existent sex drive, or even lost sense of what you two have in common. Dinner parties, lame work functions, and mind numbing play dates is all well and good and sure you get to spend time with one another but none of that is sexy. The word flaccid comes to mind.  

Finding some kind of physical activity together is sure to keep the bond strong. Research shows that up to 94 per cent of couples stick with their fitness programs when they work out together. Now, I'm no relationship expert but I can assure you that I can see sexual passion in some of my clients eyes when I'm working them out. So much that I can pretty much guarantee they just want me to shut up and leave so they can get it on right then and there. Besides the gym there are a few other activities that you can do with your widdle wuve muffin.

Activities

Hiking

• Bear Mountain is a great place to go hiking.  For a couple that enjoys going outdoors and experiencing the beauty in nature, they will be able to experience the best that nature has to offer.  It works best if you go somewhere where you both haven't been. You've just created an experience that you'll both be able to share always.

Dance class

• Now some of the guys might laugh at this one. Its OK  You can laugh it up while your wife is partnered up, doing the lambada with some Enrique Iglesias look alike. Taking a dance class might be the most perfect activity to be completely vulnerable around one another. Pick a class and style of dance that both of you will be sure to initially look completely out of your element and utterly ridiculous . My choice would be something Latin. Besides the guaranteed crotch rubbing, its just sexy as hell.

Gym workout.

• Gym workouts can go one or two ways. They can easily turn into something you and you're partner can enjoy on a daily basis or it can be another reason to argue. This activity will take one important thing from the man and woman. Being open minded from the woman, and not being a total douche from the guy. Men have a tendency to Hulk themselves into mental Schwarzenegger in the gym when in reality they don't know much as they think. Take this time to guide and push one another through and simple yet effective workout. You can even make a game out of it. Who ever does holds a plank the longest cooks dinner or picks the next movie. Of course something sexual can also be substituted. Research has shown working out together can do wonders to a sex life. It raises libido and body awareness. I for one would love to see my wife pumping out some push ups while sweats glistens off her body and trickles down her...... anyway, um go workout.
