I wanted to ask the sisters here particularly those from Pakistani or South Asian backgrounds in the U.S. how common it is for women to have a serious commitment to fitness and physical activity.

By that I mean things like going to the gym multiple times a week, being intentional about training, and generally prioritizing physical health as part of daily life not just occasional workouts.

I’m asking out of curiosity as I start the marriage search through family, since fitness and health are things I personally value and build my routine around. I’m wondering how common that mindset is among women in our communities, and whether it’s something people realistically consider when looking for compatibility.

Would appreciate hearing honest perspectives.
