What are Can Do Couples? Who are Can Do People?
Today’s ” Can Do Couples : Living Active Lives Together” discussion is brought to you Ensure. Have fun discovering how you can be a “Can Do” person as well.
Living the “Can Do Couples Life”, Walt and Shelley in a 1997 Plymouth Prowler
Ever wonder how some couples (or people) as they age maintain that “Can Do” attitude? How they just keep going and experiencing and loving life? Here are a few characteristics that I feel help “Can Do” couples experience and enjoy life:
- They keep a positive attitude even in the face of adversity
- They encourage each other and those around them
- When they have a set back, they try to get back up
- They keep up on the latest trends
- They surround themselves with friends and family
- They plan things to look forward to
- They find reasons to smile and laugh
- They maintain a healthy lifestyle by focusing on great nutrition
An example of Walt and I as a “Can Do” couple: We keep up on the latest trends by regularly Snapchatting family and friends and using the latest filters!
Check out this video of another “Can Do” couple, Byron and Helen, who are motorcycle riding grandparents.
Did you notice how Byron and Helen embody many of the characteristics that I outlined above of “Can Do” couples? They laugh and smile often, have things scheduled to look forward to, they stay current, and remember to focus on great nutrition.
Byron and Helen have been together for 58 years. Their love of classic cars and motorcycles has always kept them active but it almost sidelined them when they had an accident. With the help of Ensure, they got back on their bike and back to doing what they love! I find their story inspirational and motivational for Walt and I.
Walt’s choice of a healthy breakfast includes seeded toast, spaghetti squash casserole, and Ensure High Protein Nutrition Shake.
Walt recently had a health set back which I will detail in an upcoming blog post, discussing how his Can Do attitude helped him to recover quicker. As I said, Can Do People, are those who understand the role nutrition plays in turning “I can’t” into “I can,” or “I used to” into “I am back to.” That’s why they drink Ensure. It helps give us the strength and energy to do the things we love.
Why Ensure is the drink for Can Do People

Ensure nutrition drinks are scientifically-formulated with nutrients, essential vitamins and minerals to fill any nutrition gaps, giving adults the strength and energy needed. Walt tried the Ensure High Protein Nutrition Shake. He was impressed that it had:
16 grams of protein to support muscles
23 essential vitamins and minerals
160 nutritious calories
4 grams of sugar and 2 grams of fat

We try to embody the can do spirit, it’s a lifelong struggle and goal! You only get out of life what you put into it.
You two are such a cute couple! I love that you snapchat together. I’ve yet to use it lol
You two are super adorable and I love seeing all the fun things you two do together. Ensure shakes are a great way to make sure you are getting all the nutrition that you need. I can’t wait to see where you journey’s take you next.
They say you are only as young as you feel. I love living an active lifestyle and will be checking ensure out!
Being a ‘can do’ couple sounds fab! My other half is so negative about everything that he brings the rest of us down too. I reckon we must be a ‘can’t do’ couple 😀

I love the active image. I actually had fun playing it with it! Ha! I loved this post. You seem to have a happy life together.
Mom and I are can do people. We take weekend trip s as often as possible.
My husband is a minister, and we have visited many people over the years who use Ensure. It seems to be a product that helps many people. The sweepstakes is a great one, too.
The motorcyclist grandparents are adorable! I hope we are a can do couple at that age!
I love to see couples that are living life to the fullest and still enjoying each other even when they are older. ! It is refreshing to see them still having fun and I definitely believe that a healthy lifestyle is a big part of that!
I have to say, I love reading posts about your family. It seems that you and Walt have such a loving and fun relationship! And you are both so active! Good for you!
I have been a bit off course with my eating lately and it’s taking a huge toll. I feel like absolute garbage. I NEED to get some of this.
Ensure has some really delicious flavors! If I notice I’m lacking in some vitamins I usually grab some Ensure at the supermarket. I like to have some stocked at home.
My parents both drank ensure to help keep them from losing too much weight through their cancer treatments.
I have not been eating very well for the last few months. I need to pick up some Ensure High Protein Nutrition Shakes. That breakfast looks so delicious.
This is a fantastic giveaway. I like to have one Ensure High Protein Nutrition Shake every day. I like the taste and It is so good for you.
Having a Can Do outlook does wonders for your health I find. I recently started drinking Ensure to get more nutrients into my body. They have such great flavors too.
I agree that Can-Do couples really do lead fuller lives. Even if illness or injury keeps you from being able to recover, a sense of humor can often help you over the hurdles.
That is so awesome! My husband and I try to be a can do couple as much as we can. Thanks for this great post and this AMAZING giveaway. Yay!
