💪 Ep. 125 – Fit For Love: How Relationships Shape Health & Wellness ❤️

Ever struggled to get your partner excited about fitness? You’re not alone! In this episode, Marcos and Seamus dive into the challenges of navigating different fitness interests in relationships and why forcing a partner into fitness isn’t the answer. Instead, they explore how leading by example, keeping an open mind, and inviting your partner to join in—without pressure—can create a more supportive and engaging approach to health.

💡 Key Takeaways:

✅ You can’t force fitness on someone who isn’t ready—but you can inspire them.

✅ Exploring different activities together (from lifting to hiking to dance) helps find common ground.

✅ Fitness and nutrition are closely connected—what happens in the kitchen affects performance.

✅ Sports and creative movement can make staying active together more fun.

✅ Understanding that fitness identities differ can lead to more respect and patience in relationships.

Movement isn’t just about health—it’s about connection. Whether you're in sync with your partner’s fitness journey or figuring it out together, this conversation will help you approach wellness as a team.
