Exercise Dates
If you are looking for a great way to stay healthy and to keep your relationship healthy, consider planning exercise dates with your partner. Exercise dates can be great if you and your partner both enjoy working out, even if you don't enjoy it, you may enjoy it more if you are exercising with your partner.
You may find that you go to the gym to work out at a certain time and your partner works out at a different time. Try to schedule it so that you can both work out at the gym together. It may have to be on your lunch hour or it may have to be after work, but as long as you can get together a couple or three times a week, it just may be well worth the extra planning.
Exercise dates will allow you and your partner a little more quality time than you normally have together. You may find yourselves talking about things that you've never talked about before as you exercise together. It can create some bonding time that you have been lacking in your relationship if you are exercising together.
To make it even better, plan an exercise date and then plan a real date after your workout. You can see a movie after the gym or you can stay with an active evening and do some dancing at your favorite club. It's a great way to create more quality time together that result in better health for both of you.
If you have to push yourself to exercise, the exercise dates just may be the motivator that you need to give you a better frame of mind about exercising. If you love spending time with your partner and will take all of the time that you can get doing anything you have to do for a little quality time, this may be just what both of you need to help inspire your exercising woes.
Also when you work out with someone that you would really like to impress, you'll have a tendency to work a little harder and even exercise a little bit longer than you normally would if you were exercising alone. Exercise dates may also motivate you to work out more often than you did before you began working out with your partner.
Exercise dates may very well prompt the two of you to be a little bit more competitive while working out which can result in longer and harder exercising. You don't want to try to exercise your partner into the ground, but you do want to make sure that both of you are getting the most out of your exercise dates.
After you have finished a long and vigorous exercise routine with your partner, you may want to consider having a little fun. Suggest going for a massage at your favorite salon together to relax after your workout or you may just want to head home and enjoy a nice long shower together to finish off your exercise date.
