Workout Routine for a Married Couple?

ok, here's my dilemna. My wife and I are trying to workout together, but we each like different things.

I work out 6 days a week. a 3 day cycle twice a week.

Day 1: 30 minutes of Elliptical, Chest & Triceps, 30 minutes of Bike

Day 2: 30 minutes of Elliptical, Back & Biceps, 30 minutes of Bike

Day 3: 30 minutes of Elliptical, Shoulder & Legs, 30 minutes of Bike

My wife doesn't have a set schedule so she does my routine when she can. She usually does the Zumba dance class or run on the treadmill when she goes by herself. She doesn't really like weights. "they are boring" according to her.

I'm trying to figure out some routine where I can get my weight training but keep it interesting and fun for her.

Any suggestions?

routines? specific exercises?

Thanks for any input.

    Bodyweight exercises, especially as you develop some skills, it's near acrobatics. It's high intensity(15 sec on, 15 sec off), and it's a great explosive work-out.

    Source(s): Intro to a bodyweight routine: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=68XVw8yKPQg A nice variation to bodyweight exercises: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NWX-sM_-vGw And you can always look for more routines on YouTube of course.

    sure, even though it may well be plenty much less stressful in basic terms to diminish returned on the nutrition you consume. decrease out each and every thing it quite is wonderful out of your eating habitual. you would be bowled over at how plenty much less stressful that's to shed pounds. nutrition is ninety% of it. workout is 10%
