Why To Work Out With Your Partner

Subscribe here for all bonus episodes including the previous one about neediness vs expressing needs in a healthy way! https://anchor.fm/drpsychmomshow/subscribe 

Working out with your partner can be fun and good for the relationship, and there's many other positive reasons to try it.  This is a common wish especially of men, and I explore why this may be the case!  In case you don't want your husband to listen to this one for fear that I will tell him how easy and transformative working out is for women, I also explain why women may be reluctant to do this and how to be more empathic about this.
