Joanna Gaines Reveals New Thing Keeping Marriage Strong

Magnola Network founders Chip and Joanna Gaines married back in 2003. After 22 years of marriage and five children together, they have no shortage of projects on their hands.
Although they seem to have found a strong sense of work/life balance, many fans wonder how they make time for just the two of them.
In a new interview, Joanna admitted she and Chip were trying something new to keep the spark in their marriage alive. And it involves heavy physical activity.
Chip & Joanna Gaines Detail Their New Favorite Hobby
Living and working with a spouse full-time isn’t for every couple. But Chip and Joanna Gaines make it work. And that means they have to get a little creative with their recreational activities.

In a new interview, Joanna shared that she and Chip have started exercising together.
“There’s really no shortage of us doing things together,” Fixer Upper star Joanna Gaines shared with Us Weekly. “But what I’ve loved most about this new rhythm of working out together is that it’s new and different for us, but it’s also been interesting to see that the way we show up for each other in our little garage gym is the same way we always have at the office, or with a new project.”
“Getting to encourage each other to show up well, to work hard and do our best is how we’ve always worked together in business, so it’s been fun to see how our relationship is just consistent, no matter what we’re tackling,” Joanna continued.

Several weeks ago, Joanna shared an Instagram post revealing that she and Chip were now gym buddies.
“For the first time in our marriage, Chip and I decided to work out together. We started working w/ our friend @donsaladino in September and when he asked me to do push-ups on our first day I said, ‘I can’t. My back,'” she captioned her Instagram post.
Thankfully, she decided to dive in anyway and give it her best shot.
After just a few months, Joanna revealed that she felt stronger than ever before. She managed 50 push-ups on her own and felt proud of her achievements. The HGTV star shared that making it past the “too hard hump” made her feel invigorated and on top of the world.

Chip and Joanna have learned to enjoy their workout time together, but where did it start? According to Joanna, they’re always looking for couple activities to try.
While speaking to Us Weekly, Joanna shared that they moved to workouts after taking dance lessons together. She noted that they had a blast trying new styles of dance and finding new ways to spend time together. On top of that, dance lessons kept them on their toes and physically active. Could a run on Dancing With The Stars be in their future?
