How do I get my lazy wife to go to the gym and work out her sorry butt?

Question

My wife has a very good figure. She can eat more than two large men and she doesn't gain weight, at least not yet. But if she doesn't start exercising soon, I'm sure she will get pontoon thighs and start looking like a beached whale.
p.s. I'm a health nut and I work out everyday

Don't call me names. I'm just concerned that my lazy wife will get fat like other women. I'm not a chubby chaser and don't like fatties.

Answer 1

Just keep kissing her butt.

Answer 2

First, I can't believe you actually called your wife lazy with a sorry butt. If you actually believe she will gain weight if she doesn't work out now, you should talk to her about it open and honestly and not make it sound like you will dump her if she doesn't. Maybe she has a high metabolism and can eat without gaining weight. I'm 48 and have many friends who have never had to exercise and look like they have the figure of a 20 year old. Just because you are a health nut doesn't mean your wife has to be.

If this is such a big deal to you then maybe you had better tell her how you really feel and find someone who is as nutty about their health as you and let your wife find someone who cares about what kind of person she is and not what she may or may not look like if she happens to have a hearty appetite and doesn't feel as strongly about this as you do. You sound very superficial and only seem concerned about appearances. Sorry if this isn't what you wanted to hear, but you should have asked the question in a more appropriate manner.

Answer 3

And you didn't figure this out before you married her? Check your vows. Also, what do you expect to accomplish by calling her lazy or a beached whale and thinking she may gain weight? By saying those things to her you could cause her to gain weight or even become depressed. I dated someone who worked out at least 4 days a week and me being super small never had to work out. He always found a way to insinuate I should workout or go to a gym but instead of it helping me, I never stepped foot inside a gym-and still haven't. Your marriage is headed for a long bumpy road and I really feel sorry for your wife, I hope she sees through you.

Answer 4

First, lose the derogatory adjectives concerning your wife. You claim to be a health nut. Does that include marriage health? Just curious. If you treat your wife like she's the most precious woman on the face of the earth, and never waver, she'll BE the most precious woman on the face of the earth. Never call your wife a b---- (or other negative terms) and she'll never be one. Are you the leader in your home, or the dictator? A leader leads by example and kindness, always demonstrates caring and concern for others first, and never stops believing in the goodness of others, even if they stop for a time, believing in themselves. Cherish your wife and never stop, no matter what.

Answer 5

Try getting her a new, cute workout outfit. Go to the gym together like on a date. After workout go get a protein shake together and relax a bit. If does not work sit your wife down and ask why she refuses to do something that has so many benifits, listen to the answer. She may just feel self conscious, encourage and explain your reasons for your insistance.

Answer 6

It sounds to me like you really do not love your wife a whole lot cause if you truely did you would except her the way she is. You did when you married her and if I am correct the vows include for better or worse not just better. If she is complaing about her wait then you could suggest it to her to go and work out with you. But if she does not want to and you are this persistant then maybe you should let her go. I am sure she can find someone to accept her as is and love her whole heartidly. My advise to you is to quit being such a self centered azz.

Answer 7

Phooey on all this advice! If you want your wife to go with you to the gym, I suggest you suddenly start dressing very nicely for the gym, shower BEFORE you go, wear good looking shorts and a great looking tight shirt (if you can get by with that outfit), put on cologne, put on good looking expensive walking/running shoes. Make sure your wife knows you are getting ready to go to the "gym." Tell her you will be back as soon as possible, ask her if she wants to go with you...she will say "NO", but wonder what is going on. Stay at the gym about one hour later than normal..but be at the gym! Repeat this action about 3 times and I can guarantee you she will be going with you! Good luck

Answer 8

You admit that your wife presently has a good figure, but you are worrying about something happening that might never happen. Look inside and ask yourself if you married her because of her looks or because of who she is inside. If you push her into working out, and she only does it to please you, she will eventually get tired of trying to be what you think she should be. You will then have an unhappy wife. Always remember, there will always be another man who will want her, if you don't. Women have an easier time of getting a man than vice versa.

Answer 9

As a "health nut" you are more concerned about her HEALTH than her figure right?!?! Try that angle. Another angle to try is that you want to share your lives and that means sharing your interests and hobbies. Ask her to join you in working out and join her in something she does - even if this is sitting around / vegitating / meditating / watching TV / other sedentary or non-active pasttimes as your insult of lazy suggests.
(I am patting myself on the back right now for not insulting you and attempting to give a reasonable answer).

Answer 10

What do you have against fat people?!?!?! Are you stupid,dumb,or just high? Don't you know bigger women have more love then a bag of bones? You must have been fat when you were younger and got picked on didn't you? Maybe she should leave you and get a REAL man who will love her for who she is and not bug her to be what she ain't. Maybe you should look at yourself before you judge other people. I hope a fat man or woman sits on you and crushes your lungs you dog porker.
