Does it seem like a bad idea to work out with your boyfriend? Burpees are hard enough. So, adding on body image issues, feeling self-conscious and competing with all that testosterone doesn’t seem like it would make your workout any easier. But working out with your boyfriend might bring you closer together and closer to your fitness goals.
Do you shy away from weight lifting and resistance training because A) it looks boring, and B), you don’t want to look like the hulk? Well, according to new research, weight lifting can protect the heart and even help you live longer. That doesn’t mean you need an expensive gym membership though! You can get the benefits right at home, too.
