husband wants to go to the gym.....

He is shy about going by himself because he doesn't really know what he is doing. I told him about this site and hopefully he logs on, but what can I do for encouragement until I get home to go with him. He feels that now I am getting into shape he should be but he doesn't like doing a lot of stuff when I'm not there. He says that I motivate him, but I don't want him to be a couch-potato til then. Please give me some advice...... ---------------------------- Lisa

Besides, I think he just wants to go with yoiu to check up on you...LOL! -------------- **_Robert_** Pain is temporary; glory is forever!
