Physical Fitness Exercise Programs

I love my husband. He is so great in pretty much every area of our relationship, he helps me clean and cook, he is giving, and is very good in bed. He tries very hard to keep me happy and I appreciate all he does for me. He has a few attributes that annoy me, for instance he is not very responsible with money. Sure, we have our issues, but for the most part, his good traits outweigh the bad and I want to keep our marriage alive.

However, I’m finding it hard to be attracted to him enough to initiate sex. He has put on a few pounds and it’s very hard for me to keep my eyes open (I know, this is horrible :(…). He was in great shape before and it changed his whole mentality, made him more confident and in turn made me want him more.

My question is, how do I hint for him to try and lose the extra lbs? I’ve tried hinting things like joining me on a walk and he just doesn’t ever want to. We have had gym passes/tried diet and exercise programs and he ends up losing the ambition. What can I do or say as his wife? I don’t want to hurt his feelings or sound like I am criticizing him. I sometimes fantasize about other men to keep me excited, and it worries me. Has this ever happened to any women out there?

Tell him exercise is sexy and start having sex with him when he does exercise!

How about exercising in the nude? I bet that would help.

Obviously, as you see im very small for my age. I play soccer, run track, and run cross country for my Middle school team, and so i have great leg muscles, but no arm muscles. I always feel weak around my friends. I have contemplated whether or not i should stick to running, ab workouts, and curls, or start dead lifting. If you have any advice, i’ll be happy to hear it. The truth hurts, so be cruel and honest. I’ll man up and take it =)

In addition to the above answer, do bicep curls, lateral raises and front raises, tricep dips and shoulder shrugs. That combination should strengthen all major muscles of the shoulders and arms (in addition to the back and chest from the pushups and pullups).

If you don’t have any weights to work with, you can improvise by putting heavy stuff in a backpack or bag, using a bathroom scale to see how much it weighs. All you need for tricep dips are a scale. Please go here http://www.acefitness.org/exerciselibrary/default.aspx
to see the proper form for all of the exercises, proper form is essential.
Start with light weights.

It sucks, but at your age I don’t think you’ll grow to be very tall, and a large component in strength is size (bigger people are stronger). So chances are you’ll never be stronger than your friends, but you can still become very strong for your height.
