How to tell Wife to Workout?
|
'm a personal trainer at powerhouse gym and I see a variety of clients everyday from weak to fat to ugly, etc. I usually can find some way to motivate them to get in the gym.
However, I don't know how to tell my wife she needs to get in the gym. She has plenty of time, she only works 30 hours a week and I do try to spend a few hours a week taking care of the kids while she's cleaning. She's ballooned up to about 135 pounds, which sounds bad, but she is 5-9 so she's not that fat. I just don't know how to tell her. Should I tell her that one of my clients is feelin me so she needs to get in the gym to keep me? Should I tell her that if she's in better shape, that she'll look better next to me? I've already hidden some of her sweats so thats a start, lol.

The reason you can motivate others at the gym (even the ugly ones) is because they want to be there. You are paid to work with them (even the ugly ones)... sorry, I just can't get over that.
Your wife has to want to go before she does. If she is 135 and 5'9", she is not fat. You should love your wife for the beautiful person that she is. If she gains a few pound, ask if she wants to go for a walk with you. Don't assume she will have the same drive as you do to work out at the gym. Also, taking care of the kids while she is cleaning doesn't give you a great husband award. |

maybe your wife feels comfortable with the way she looks. if it bothers you this bad try the whole communication thing and sit down and talk to her in a way that you dont make her fell unattractive or bad about herself be constructive... in any relationship people should be able to feel comfortable around each other |

You don't deserve her. |

Ask her what's wrong. Tell her about how great she used to look and that you are wondering why someone who USED to care about their looks, no longer give a crap.
When a woman gains weight, that shows a lack of respect not only for herself, but a lack of respect for you.
And what kind of relationship can you really have without respect? |

Don't be a punk. Tell her how you feel, be blunt. It's hard but better in the long run. |

She must feel comfortable with herself, which is amazing, all women should be. If it is at the point where it is unhealthy, then that is bad, but if you REALLY feel the need to tell your wife she has to get a better body (not saying that in a bad way) then suggest working out together, or doing a sporty activity |

Compliment her on how good she looks then say you believe she would look even better if she worked out just a little. Be careful and take baby steps and you might get her to try. Good luck. |

WOW. you kind of sound like an ***. There is no polite way to tell the woman you supposedly love that she's turned into a fatty because that's what it sounds like you are saying. |

Wow. You sound like quite a douche... Ballooned up to 135? Are you kidding me. I just looked up the height to weight ratio and the target for someone who is 5'9 is 150... Think about that. |

i think you have bigger issues than this....but i will stick to the topic buy her a gym member ship hound her to go....dont say anything degrading or insulting though....if she asks why youre pushing her to go to the gym just say something like "i want to spend time with you at the gym" or "i want to get more active with you" |

omg your a creep and don't deserve her,135 pounds where do you see thats getting fat,i bet if you had to do what all she did and take care of the house and kids you'd be bigger than ever,how do you know you aint been working out to much and made your pole shrink and now she don't think your man enough for her,thats bout the same difference,how do you know she aint got somebody checking her out and you might loose her |
|

woohoo
|
First of all, I don't know how skinny she was when you met, but 135 for 5'9 is not heavy at all. But if you think your girl needs to lose weight do not tell her she is fat and understand that the people you motivate at the gym chose to go there themselves and are looking for your motivation but your wife is not. I would put aside some time in the afternoon when you are both available and try to include her in some exercise. Tell her you are going for a jog and invite her along or something like that. |

rpid raging R we, well you hit a nerve with me, my husband is a body builder and he could careless what I weight he wa sjelous when I had a tummy tuck done, but my point is, she is not fat maybe if she balloons to 200 pds. then I would become concerned, but my God man, you have a eating problem and why project this onto her, I am so tired of my roid raging husband (He takes roids by the way) going on a diet and then never eating, and then gorging on fast food and sayin all bodybuilders do this and then trying to tell my daughter she has to loose some pounds.
your an idiot, you sound like a cheater, why don;t you just go ahead and hit that hard body in the gym, what R U waiting for, you oviously like people worshipping your body and not you as a human being. Oh well shallow!!! |
