They say you’re more likely to stick to a new fitness routine if you’ve got someone to do it with. You can hold each other accountable, and if it’s your significant other, it can be easier to fit into your schedules.
And maybe, there are other forces at work too.
According to a new survey, 55% of people with a partner on a “health journey” joined them without ever consciously deciding to, as if they’re just mimicking their habits.
47% of couples who do wellness goals together call it the “ultimate relationship hack”, 66% say adopting healthier habits together reduces stress, and 62% of partners who prioritize wellness as a team have more sex.
So there can be positive influences, but also negative ones. 29% of partners have become the top culprit in DERAILING progress by keeping unhealthy snacks at home.
(It’s also easy to fall into a diet with a partner, involuntarily, if they’re on a diet and they’re the ones making dinner. Would you rather make a second dinner for yourself, or just deal with veggie pasta or a salad?)
