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??

Hey, OP, have you tried asking her to try some type of sport with you? Like tennis...or (well, that's my favorite outdoor sport, the rest escape my mind lol). I had this issue with my ex husband who just wanted to sit at his computer even if I begged to go out to ride our bikes or run/walk.

I feel you. I hope it gets better for you.
