Gabby Reece on Getting Physical With Laird Hamilton

When it comes to fit couples, like former pro beach volleyball fitness guru Gabby Reece and her hunk of a husband pro surfer Laird Hamilton, you have to wonder if they work out together. When posed with Sugar user Spectra ’s question, “What kind of activities do you do with Laird to stay fit?” Gabby quickly responded, with an almost inaudible chuckle, “Oh my gosh, I try not to train with Laird. We’ve been together for almost 14 years and always joke that we are both too bossy to train together trying to tell each other what to do, and he always wins. I would say Laird is far more advanced in some of the things he is able to do. I use him as an inspiration.” To learn how Laird inspired her to start biking, read more. Laird urged Gabby to start biking suggesting that it was a great way to explore the beauty Hawaii has to offer. She also occasionally works

out with the “boys” when she misses her own workout group due to scheduling conflicts. She explains that the workout, “is really hard. I am there just barely silent holding on for dear life. But I am learning. . . You can always learn more, because it gets boring. Part of it is being around people . . . that give ideas and inspiration on how to do different things to keep it fresh.” Gabby did go on to say they do stuff in the water together as a couple and as a family, but training together happens “only once in a blue moon” and that might be what keeps them together. My husband and I cycle together, but we had to hash out the parameters since we have different approaches to attacking hills and speeding down descents. What about you? Do work out with your husband, partner, boyfriend?
