When couples have different approaches to fitness and wellness

My partner and I have completely different relationships with exercise — they need intense daily workouts to feel okay and I'm more of a gentle movement person — and we've started making each other feel guilty about our approaches without meaning to. We keep saying we want to 'be healthier together' but we're realizing we don't actually know what that means when our bodies and minds work so differently.
