Going on a fitness journey is an incredibly hard thing. Whether you’re trying to drop pounds or bulk up and put on some muscle, it requires a lot of time, effort and discipline. But one other thing that greatly helps on a person’s journey is support. If you have people who will choose to eat healthy with you, won’t encourage the same bad habits and will even work out with you, you have a better chance of hitting your goals. A study in 2016 from the University of Aberdeen even found that when you workout with a partner, the amount of time spent exercising increases altogether.

That’s why it’s always a beautiful thing to see couples go on a fitness journey together. No one can provide you support like the man or woman you love, and if they walk beside you on the same healthy path, you can glow up something serious together. For inspiration, check out 10 pairs (including a man and woman who are BFFs) who lost a whole lot of weight (and put on a whole lot of muscle) together.
