Easy ways to lose weight this Xmas: Couple Workout

I don't think that most couples in this side of the world spend time exercising together. I mean if you were spending the weekend at your partner's (for those who aren't married) or just spending time together away from work, working out together might not be top on your "to do list", but there's a lot of benefits of working out with your partner.

Research has shown that people tend to be more active when working out with someone or in a group.

Some people often complain of not getting desired results from the exercises that they do. This could be for a number or reasons including doing the wrong form of certain exercises.

When you don't get the correct form of an exercise you could injure yourself and cause your body serious damage, so it's paramount to always get the right form of any exercise in your workout routine.

What are your fitness goals? Tell us and let us help you achieve them

Hi Beauties! I hope this meets you well. I totally apologise for my absence this few days. I'm working on a fitness and wellness project that I believe would help improve our everyday life. In order to achieve this I have mapped out some important questions that'd help me understand you better.

Please read through carefully and provide appropriate answers.

1. How old are you? ( 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s )

2. What's your gender? (Male or female)

3. What is the highest level of school you've completed or the highest degree you've received?

BODY MASS INDEX: IS YOUR WEIGHT NORMAL?

Before embarking on a weight loss journey, or any workout routine, it's essential to know your weight and health status. Are you overweight or underweight? You can determine this by calculating your BMI(body mass index).

BMI is a measurement of body fat based on your height and weight. BMI applies to both genders between ages 18-65 years. Calculating your BMI will help you know if your weight is normal or not. According to some health experts, a healthy BMI result is between 18.5-25.
