Valentine’s Day is right around the corner and couples are scrambling to come up with cutesy ideas for their significant other. Most people will do the typical scavenger hunt or candlelit dinner, but how about trying something different? It’s time to incorporate fitness into your special day to burn off all the chocolate and wine! Staying active with your significant other makes your bond stronger and motivates the both of you to want to look and feel better. Not to mention, you’ll be the one appreciating those ripped abs or sculpted legs behind closed doors.
Picnic with a twist: Everyone can go on a typical picnic, but this type of picnic will start with a workout routine around the whole park and THEN end with some wine and cheese. Go running/jogging, do burpees, ride bikes, etc. You can do whatever you want, as long as it gets your blood flowing. At the end of the workout, find a nice spot to lay down a blanket and enjoy a relaxing lunch. Instead of binging on fattening foods, snack on fruits, make a scrumptious caprese salad, or chow down on a yummy turkey wrap. Your cheat items can include some red wine and dark chocolate for dessert. It will be an unforgettable afternoon with your honey.
Adventure trips: Time to take a ride on the wild side! Take your boo thang skydiving, hiking, surfing, horseback riding, rock wall climbing, para-sailing, hot air balloon riding, etc. The possibilities are endless when it comes to adventure. This date will definitely allow you to make long-lasting memories with your loved one.
Running for romance: Go for a late afternoon beach run followed by popping a bottle of champagne and watching the sunset together. The run will be challenging because running in the sand is way harder than running on pavement. It’ll also be fun since you’ll have your partner by your side. When you’re done, lay down a blanket and pop a bottle of champagne. Enjoy the view and kiss under the sunset.
Doggy date: You and your love take the dog out for a walk. That way the puppy gets a chance to roam the neighborhood and enjoy family time with mom and dad. This is a simple, cute and free date to give you and your boyfriend/girlfriend the opportunity to escape from the world and just talk.
Getting active together is different from the norm and will certainly create new memories for you and the love of your life. Happy Valentine’s Day!
