Get Your Girlfriend To Workout

We are told to never say, 'I can't'.

Well, this is like no other situation around. It is so different that

I have to say,

'I can't, you can't, even the little engine that could can't...

get your girlfriend to workout!'

Some of my closest guy and girlfriends come to me for advice on

getting their main squeeze to squeeze into their workout gear and go

to the gym.

The reality of it, is that there is really nothing that anyone can say

or do to get them to take action. There are only things that you can

say and do to stop them from taking action.

Getting back into shape or hitting the health club is a personal

choice and decision. The only person that can get them to workout is

THEM SELF.

What you can't do:

* Say they should workout, go on a diet, or should see a trainer

* Buy them a gym membership

* Compare yourself to them

* Mention they are beginning to look like their mother or father

* Comment on their previous body shape or size

* Deviate your typical behavior, they will know something is up

(like you think their weight is) if you start inviting them to the

gym

* Never agree with them that they need to lose weight, tone up, get

in shape. Never.

Be supportive and understanding of your partner's situation. Set a

good example and continue your healthy habits. When dealing with your

loved-one, keep it pressure, guilt, and criticism-free. If they don't

ask your opinion, don't give it. Even if they ask for your opinion on

their fitness level, body, or weight. Lie! It's a lose-lose. When they

are ready to get it in gear, they will...

If you push too hard, they will end up resenting it and will

purposefully not workout to get back at you!
