working out without DH

I go to the gym from work, if I go home I am so tempted to stay their with DH. I got DH a gym membership, paid for the full year, he went 2 weeks and absolutely hates it. He is skinny, and goes to school full time, works full time so I let it slide, but I miss him when I am at the gym. I feel like I can't wait to be done so I can go home and see him. when he is working late I don't have the urge and enjoy my workout. anyone have this problem?

Hi!!
I have the exact opposite problem..He likes to go (4-5 days a week) and I never want to go. I commute into the city and get home kind of late. He gets home a lot earlier, so by the time I get home..he's ready to hit the gym.

I miss him when I don't go because by the time he gets home (sometimes 10 o'clock at night) I am ready to go to bed because I have to get up at 5:50 every morning.

I know it's something he really enjoys + it's obviously good for you, so my advice to you is just keep going no matter what. Maybe you can go for a shorter time.

He BEGS me to go with him, so I promised him that I would go at least 2 days a week...maybe you can make a deal with your hubby too!!
Good luck.

we go together on weekends. I go during the day at lunch twice a week by myself or with a colleague. I just hate working out so I can't wait to be done with it.

FH is a personal trainer/nutritionist, I HATE going to the gym with him.I get in my 'zone' and blast my headphone....to me thats 'me' time but I love working out at home with him, he does ab work with me and teaches me Tai Kickboxing....he's hard on me but its great I feel so much closer to him when we work out

Me and DH put a work bench, a treadmill and the ab roller in a spare bedroom we have and work out together after work. We used to go to the gym together but I hated it. I would only go because he liked me to go w/ him. When I stopped going, so did he. Thats why we got the stuff for our house.

I have a workout gym is my complex but i been so lazy to work out but I think since i am not working for a month I am going to start I might go in the morning when they first open up. My Dh doesn't work out either. I need to lose weight since my thyroid is out of control .

Re: working out without DH

my workout time is my time to vent and relax. I love my DH and i have tried to bring him to the gym but he gets me off track so much that i find i am there for an extra hour trying to finish my workout. My DH can eat anything and never gain a pound so he can skip the gym. I can go with some of my girl friends but not my DH.
