10 Times Working Out with Your Boyfriend Sounds Way Cuter Than it Actually Is

In theory, heading to a sweat sesh with your man looks like an adorable and happy couple getting their fitness on side-by-side, followed by equally amazing endorphin-fueled sex. Well, despite Elle Woods’  observation that endorphin boosts make people happy and happy people don’t kill their husbands, a mutual workout might actually prove her wrong. Here, all the ways your well-intentioned couple's exercise outing can turn into something that’s not even remotely cute—fast. 

1. When he magically transforms into a drill sergeant. All of a sudden, he’s yelling at you to push harder, go faster, be better. And all it motivates you to do is punch him in the face—or at least seriously consider it.

2. When it becomes awkwardly obvious that you are not at the same fitness level. From the looks of your guy, you’d think he works out at least a few times a week. But when he’s panting on the stationary bike next to you, it’s clear that looks can be deceiving. 

3. When he makes really loud and ridiculously-unattractive grunting noises. Turns out that your guy is one of those guys who shows the entire gym just how hard they’re working via obnoxious and unintelligible sounds. #Dealbreaker?

4. When you say, “Let’s do some squats and lunges!” and he runs away. You might be the queen of lower-body exercises, but he wants to cry after about five goblet squats. What’s a girl to do?

5. When his "nice and easy" jog is your full-on sprint. Those noodle legs carry him at what feels like the speed of light, and he’s not even gassed. When you run together, it kind of looks like you’re one of those little dachshunds trying to keep up with its owner—except not as cute.

6. When your favorite fitness class makes him look and feel like a loser. Your go-to dance workout is clearly not his jam. You thought the two of you would look a little more like Step Up than Bill Nye the Science Guy's Dancing with the Stars debut. At least your man is prettier than Bill.

7. When your inner fitness nerd makes an appearance. That encyclopedia-like knowledge of the most effective ways to work out might impress your trainer, but when you spew your “helpful hints” while he’s mid-squat, he probably just wants you to stop talking for the rest of the day.

8. After you crushed a killer 45-minute workout, he says he needs about another hour to finish up. Really? Another hour? What has he been doing this whole time, looking in the mirror? Probably.

9. When his sweat drips on you. Ew. Just ew.

10. When you're both too damn exhausted to enjoy post-workout sexy time. You thought you were supposed to feel turned on after a couples’ fitness sesh, but instead, you hit the showers, then the couch, and pass out. Better luck next time.
