Meh @ exercising with a partner. I love exercising with DH, but lately I've been thinking that we need to do separate workouts. We tend to either walk together or do weights together. When we walk it's a couple of miles per day, a few days per week, and when we work out together it's about every other day. Walking is fine, we can do the same distance at the same rate at the same time. The problem with weight training with DH is that I get frustrated. Not only can he lift a lot more than me, he can do more reps than I can. He's all, "Well, your body isn't built the way mine is, you just can't do the same things I can do." He's convinced that no matter how I train I'll never be "stronger" than him unless I take steroids, which obviously I'm not ever going to do, but I think he was just trying to make a point and he's all matter of fact about it and not mocking at all; men are just "stronger." Maybe I need a female PT; that might be my next step because I spend way too much workout time pissed that I can't do what he can do. Yeah, I'm unrealistic but it's still frustrating.
