Getting your girl into fitness/lifting/proper diet

>>38104521

You can't. Most people are mentally weak and have no drive or willpower, and do little more than coast along in life with the flow without passion for anything, women especially so.

You can't force someone to lift or care about their fitness, it has to come from within. You won't be able to make her stick with it and she likely won't ever give enough of a shit to do it herself.

I've done it. Positive reinforcement coupled with taking myself seriously worked.

I do meal prep, take over the whole fridge, she can either eat at some fast food joint or enjoy the food I prepare.
I lift, if she wants to spend more time with me then part of that will have to be at the gym. I tell her how she has improved and encourage her to push herself. She sees results and is then self motivated and now lifts more than some guys. Just this year she went on to compete in her first Bikini comp.

Treat her like your bro, breh.

its easy talk about stuff like jogging with her and do it with her. Build from there.

What kind of routine would you recommend to my girlfriend? She's chubby and wants to get lean and it's interested in lifting, I was thinking SL since she can track progress and post that shit on social media, or should I make a custom program for her?

Every time you guys go to the gym together, tell her something new about yourself. opening up emotionally is like crack for girls, and everytime she's feeling lonely and distant she'll be dragging you to the gym

Hey OP, I'll give you perspective from the flip side. My bf helped get me interested in lifting somewhat.

I always hated exercise - cardio, sports, high intensity anything, because it made my physically uncomfortable and I couldn't do much because of asthma. The least I could do was maintain a healthy diet. I was already interested in growing food, eating fresh, avoiding junk, etc. Content with skinnyfat mode.

My bf was skinnyfat too and started working out more at home, and after a month I saw progress on his body. He has very limited equipment and was able to cut bodyfat and get more tone. A couple more months pass and he's progressed to DYEL mode. During this time he'd invite me over for yoga on his rest/recovery days and we'd do a routine maybe twice a week.

Another thing that helped me was getting a labor intensive job. After a few months I started noticing definition on myself from having to do some heavy lifting on the job.

And then it all kinda clicked. I need to lift weights.

The cardio killed me but lifting weights (like yoga) was more about proper form, making every movement count, breathing properly, and it was okay to go slow. This type of exercise did not agitate my asthma.

So now we spend some days working out together, we have fun sending each other progress pics or post-workout pics, we have fun blabbing about our daily macros, we watch health lectures together, and I've come to like the feeling of getting sweaty and feeling the burn. Never thought I would enjoy that.

It's a combination of inner desire, seeing it work in action, and doing it yourself. You can open the door for her but she has to walk through herself.

This seems to be, dare I say it, a case of first post best post

My boyfriend got me into lifting by sitting me down and quite literally saying "beb you've gotten fat. I'm no longer as attracted to you as I once was and I'm worried about your health", and I agreed with him and went and got a gym membership that day.

Try being honest I guess?
