Works well, we use different weights of course, but it is nice doing it together. -------------- If you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything.... bb1fit@freetrainers.com

I just wish he would start up again, I do miss him not working out with me. And it wasn't anything bad that got him away from it, we both stopped and I am now back into lifting and he isn't at this point. Leslie

We generally follow the same workout just use different weights.

I may node or aknowledge them, but thats about it. -------------- " The only true eye, is your minds eye"- plato

OHHHHHHHHH That can be a workout in itself. Have fun with her it can be nice :love: -------------- THE NATURAL WAY IS THE ONLY TRUE PATH TO SUCCESS, PRIDE, JOY, HAPPINESS, LONG TERM FULFILLMENT AND SELF-ESTEEM!

In other words, if it's going to cause you to not get half out of your workout as you would due to social purposes no. But if both of you are just wanting to go to give each other pointers or to integrate one into weight lifting, then yes. I personally don't take my fiance to the gym when I work out, she talks too much and gets me side tracked, and she knows that's why. However, she wants to go so I take her seperately, this way you can focus more on helping her/him rather than focusing on your work out. This is what works well for me. -Derek

And we never did that while lifting, tho after wards he did get a good pat on the butt. Leslie
