RIO Fitness Chicago® Tip:

It's great to have a significant other who supports you with your exercise/nutrition goals or who'll go with you to exercise. Very important to have a support system from those you love when trying to get healthy & back into shape. Although, if you're doing the same exercises as your opposite sex significant other, ask yourself ladies, do I want to look like my boyfriend/husband, and guys vice versa. For example, doing a set of barbell bench press then resting, or a set of barbell bicep curls then resting, that's bodybuilding. Common sense, men & women have different body types, so if you strength train like a man you'll look like a man. Not to mention, bodybuilding is the LEAST effective way to get lean & toned quickly. Bottomline, go together to the gym but don't weight train the same.
