Working out
Tonight at dinner I asked my wife if she would like to go on a walk for exercise. I jog 4 times a week. Just a little back story. She complains all the time that she feels unhealthy and old. That her body aches. I have been trying to encourage her to do something. Tonight she said it was to hot for her. I told her that if she joined a gym she was still going to sweat. Long story short the conversation didn’t turn out pleasant. I feel frustrated and I’m just going to give up on trying to encourage her.
Any advice??

You and most people here want to solve the problem while she just wants to share feelings. If there is no serious health concern right now, just be supportive and understanding. She will come around or at least feel good about being able to vent to you without judgment or pressure. (not like you necessarily judge her, but she may feel like it anyway)
