Can one say:
1-If you work out with your friends, you'll enjoy it the more.
instead of:
1a-If you work out with your friends, you'll enjoy it more.
Sentence 1 sounds strange to me. I know the structure 'The more... the more', as in 'The more you work out, the better you'll feel'; but we don't have that structure in 1.
I saw something with the same construction as 1 in print. Was it a typo, or maybe an archaism?
