5 Tips On Staying Fit During Marriage

In Denise and JC’s case, they do yoga together, among other activities such as walking their dogs or riding their bikes around their neighborhood.

Staying fit is not only physical, but mental as well. It’s important to keep the mind stimulated to maintain mental clarity, sharpness of mind, and good memory, which in turn affects our actions in everyday life.

Do the grocery, go to the market, and even cook together. “The preparation of the food from market to table is a workout in itself!” says Denise. Meal times can also be another opportunity to enjoy not just food that truly nourishes the body, mind, and soul, but also each other’s company.

There are lots of things that need to get done in the house—from doing the dishes, taking out the trash, doing the laundry, sweeping and mopping the flooors, to bathing the pets—and they are easier done as a team effort. They are also productive ways to break a sweat!

There are many creative ways for partners to express themselves in the bedroom (or elsewhere!) to burn calories! “Loosen up and let your endorphins flow!” adds Denise.

Health is an investment for the future; enabling you and your partner to create a fulfilling and productive life. With common goals, a couple can be a positive influence for each other. You can motivate each other to be healthy. While living a healthy lifestyle, you will also be good role models to your (future) children.

The rewards of achieving your goals of staying fit together can help build a stronger marriage and a higher quality of life. Staying fit financially can also benefit you and your family with the BPI AIA Wellness Series, which offers its members rewards for achieving your health goals.

The first step is to get health checkups and screenings to get your Vitality age, and assess your state of health and well-being. The second step includes making healthy choices in what we eat, doing physical activities, and changing unhealthy habits.
