Twins Again!
I now weigh 2 pounds less than my twin brother. I never mentioned it before that I have a twin but I do. I am 10 minutes older and I’m the rebellious, stubborn twin and everyone knows it.
Now family and friends have been calling me Mike instead of Joe and a few relatives that we haven’t seen in a while have asked: “Which twin are you?” It is fun throwing them off and a great feeling. No longer known to everyone as the “FAT” twin, I think that what I have accomplished has motivated my twin brother to start working out also. He told me that he has started doing cardio- that’s a good start.
My goal is to get my brother into the gym so we can work out and motivate each other. That would be so awesome. There are a lot of twins who are extremely competitive with each other but my brother and I always worked well together and supported each other. I am not pushing the issue about the gym because sometimes doing things indirectly produces good results. It seems as though my brother is catching on to my fitness goals and wants to get involved more so I will wait and see what happens next.

Hi, I’m a twin too and the two of you sound just like my sister and me!! I’m the stubborn outspoken one and she’s the level headed more mellow one, she’s older by 9 minutes.
Right now I’m trying to motivate her to hit the gym with me, but like you sort of said its best to let them maybe come to it on their own.
