5 Ways to Get Your Heart Pumping
top 5: active date ideascanada
(Feb.13.12)
Can’t imagine date night without desserts, wine or popcorn? Well you don’t have to. We’ve come up with five ways you can celebrate V-Day in a healthy way.
These five alternative ideas will keep you active, romantic and out of sugar’s way, so the only treat you’re tempted by is your date.
Salsa Dancing: Spice up date night by sampling some Latin beats and getting hot and sweaty on the dance floor. An hour of salsa dancing can burn 500 calories, and gets you up close and personal with your favourite person.
Rock Climbing: There’s nothing like holding each other’s weight in your hands to teach you about trust and honesty. Learn the rock climbing ropes and take your relationship to new heights while building strength in your entire body.
Private Yoga Class: Whether you want a relaxing stretch or an invigorating workout, a private tutor can tailor the class to you and your partner. Turn up the heat and try hot yoga; you’ll leave happy, flexible and relaxed.
Embrace the Elements: Book a lesson for something you’ve never tried before and hit the slopes together, explore a park on snow shoes or find a quiet skating rink. It doesn’t matter if one person is better than the other – offering (or just holding) a helping hand is part of the fun. Reward yourself with a low-fat hot chocolate afterwards.
Dog Sledding: Mushing a team of huskies takes more energy than you think but, when you want a break, there’s a ready-made place to snuggle beneath a blanket on the sled. For extra romance, take a starlit tour and enjoy hot drinks around a bonfire.
