We all know the
"standard" date protocol, right?
Dinner? A movie?
Well, what if that's
not you, or you want to change the normal
routine.
What then?
A
great way to bond with your partner is through
fitness. So, skip that
fancy restaurant that will wreck havoc on your card, and look instead
for a something a little different, a fitness date.
1. Nature Walk and Picnic
For your nature walk
date, you don't need to far out into the woods.
Instead, you can check
out a local park, or nature reserve. On your
walk, you can take in
the local foliage and animals.
If you can, try to find a park that you
may not frequent.
This will make the date more exciting as you will be
"exploring."
This will also give you a chance to talk, and spend time
together one-on-one without the distractions
that a restaurant or
movie theatre can bring.
At the end of the walk, spread out a blanket
and enjoy a lunch together.
You may even want to consider preparing the
lunch together
before you go, or bringing something each to
contribute.
2. Ropes Course
Ever see those ropes
courses that go high up into the trees?
They may seem terrifying or dangerous from the ground.
However, that couldn't
be further from the truth.
The courses are
designed with safety in mind.
This is a great
opportunity for couples who may be excitement
seekers. Courses like
these are often set up in such a way that each
stage presents their
own challenge, from a wobbly bridge suspended
twenty feet in the
area, or a single tight rope.
This is a great way
to challenge yourselves, and it will also
be something wonderful
to talk about afterwards.
3. Wii Fit/Sports tournament
Not a fan of the
outdoors? Is it raining or snowing out?
How about a Wii Fit date?
Engage in fun outdoor
activities or yoga all while in
the comfort of your
home?
Despite being a
"video game," these can be great workouts!
Challenge each other in
the bowling arena, sand
volleyball, or relax
with a soothing yoga session without having to
pay the fees!
You can go at your own
pace, so this is especially nice
for couples who are
just starting to work out.
4. City tour on a bike
Have you lived in a City
for a while, and never really explored it?
Well, why not start
now?
Pull out your bike, or
rent one if you don't
have your own, and make
a Saturday exploration of it.
Perhaps you are interested in seeing a new exhibit at a favorite museum,
or want to
check out a new ice cream shop.
Why not get there on a bike?
Not only are you two working out, but you are also checking out
something
new together.
As a couple, sharing
new experiences is incredibly important!
There are so many ways
to bond together while working out!
These are just a few starter
ideas. Once you two get going, you will find many
more avenues that you
enjoy and want to explore.
For now, why wait to get started?
Go try out some of
these right now!
