Redditors who have gotten fit and your spouse is obese, how has it affected your life?

I've gotten in good shape and fitness is now firmly a part of my regular routine. On the other hand, my wife is teetering on the morbid obesity limit and has no interest in fitness. We both started out as completely average many years ago.

It doesn't feel like a serious incompatibility issue but yet I never see couples like us and don't know any within our group of friends/acquaintances. So are any of you in a committed relationship with someone that is obese? Have any of you left a relationship because you got fit and they didn't?

Not discussed on here before, Melatonin as a preworkout.

Not discussed on here before, Melatonin as a preworkout.Melatonin has been shown to reliably improve growth hormone acutely from supplementation. It's been shown to increase growth hormone during and after exercise when taken as a preworkout. This has been tested repeatedly (examine.com confirms it, despite only having reviewed only 2 studies so far), and yet despite this being proven for quite some time (studies go back over 20 years ago) it has very little popularity as a preworkout, why is this? Is there a catch to its benefits I'm not aware of or has it just not hit the public spotlight yet? Otherwise it sounds like a cheap, effective supplement thats almost to good to be true! An increase in growth hormone has some seriously awesome benefits.

Smith machine - squats?

Smith machine - squats?So I see a lot of hate for the Smith machine, but I have been using it to squat at my gym since I don't have a spotter and am fairly weak and worried about falling over. Is it that bad to start out using it? Am I hurting myself some how? I try to focus on form and fairly low weight still since just the movement makes me feel off balance. submitted by /u/_keepitsimple_ [link] [comments]
