The Joy of Flex: Exercise Better Together
Work out as a couple. The couple that sweats together and stays together.

 

Couple #3: The Committed Commuters
Margaret and Dan Zwiren
Age: Mid 60s and 70s respectively
Location: Staten Island, NY

Margaret and Dan found inspiration to live a healthier lifestyle because of each other. In fact, they're so devoted to gym-going, they endure a 40-minute commute from Staten Island to Manhattan three times a week, both admitting that they probably wouldn’t do it without the other. "Working out really brings you closer together," says Dan, who convinced his wife to join the club years ago as a Mother’s Day gift. "I admire her progress; she’s really motivated to go," he adds.

YourTango's Take: Working out together is one routine that can actually make a relationship sexier, and you have nothing to lose but the love handles!
