Close
your eyes and imagine this romantic setting: an intimate
picnic on the beach, you and your mate enjoying strawberries
from a fresh fruit salad, and both of you enjoying the
ocean breeze as plans are being made for your next date.
All of this, of course, after you jogged with your sweetie
on the beach at sunset. That’s right, “jogged”!
While
many couple’s idea of a romantic date will still
include a walk on the beach at sunset, other couples are
increasingly opting for inclusion of a healthful fitness
activity instead. Around the country, these “fitness
dates” have become more and more popular as people
are searching for a different, if not healthier, option
to the customary “dinner-and-a-movie” routine.
These fitness dates can include everything from an actual
workout together at the gym, to a nighttime game of tennis,
to even a canoe-by-moonlight excursion. What’s important
is that an activity is found that both of you like to
do and then use it as a platform to have some fun and
enjoy each other’s companionship. Granted, it may
require a different mindset to appreciate a date at a
gym, lake, or track as a dating alternative, but it does
reap an extraordinary amount of benefits and it can genuinely
be a lot of fun as well.
To
begin with, these fitness dates do allow for some actual
quality time together for the both of you to bond. This
time together is yours to share and the exercise itself
does release hormones in the body that helps promote a
general feeling of relaxation and well-being. Bottom line
is that you’ll both feel better about yourself and
will enjoy each other’s company even more. Besides,
workout sessions are always more fun when your partner
is along and that’s part of the point in even inviting
a partner with you in the first place.
Fitness
dates also encourages the practice of healthy behaviors
between the both of you. Just like the saying, “birds
of a feather, flock together”, it is a well-proven
fact that the health practices of one partner will greatly
influence the condition of the other. Chances are that
if you and your date routinely include a fitness date
into your calendar, then both of you are also more likely
to be maintaining a healthier lifestyle during the week
as well.
Additionally,
these fitness dates tend to do amazing wonders for stimulating
a couple’s intimacy with one another. Research has
confirmed that regular exercise does result in greater
levels of desire, frequency, and increased confidence.
The increased blood flow to all body parts also enhances
your ability to be aroused. Needless to say, the visual
appeal of your mate working up a sweat probably won’t
dampen the attraction either.
As
for arranging Friday nights for your fitness dates, just
remember that this could also be a great, healthy way
to wind down at the end of your work week. Looking forward
to meeting your date will only add to the motivation.
However, if your schedule doesn’t necessarily allow
a Friday night for the both of you to meet in a gym or
attend a spinning or yoga class, then the truth is that
any day or time of the week will work as an ideal time
for a fitness date. Just remember to enjoy the moment
and time together with your significant other and have
some fun!
