Working out with your partner? It could be good for your heart -- and your relationship

Research published in SAGE Journals indicates that couples who exercise together not only achieve fitness goals more consistently but also strengthen their emotional connections. Dr. David Moore from Henry Ford Hospital highlights that partner workouts increase enjoyment and emotional responses, enhancing relationship satisfaction throughout the day. Stephanie Steele, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, suggests that exercising together can serve as a creative date alternative, blending fitness and bonding in activities like push-ups or walks, thus improving both physical health and relationship quality.
