Happy V-Day to the lovers out there celebrating today! You can spend the day waiting to be seated at a restaurant or in a cold movie theater but you have probably done that before. I have a date idea that you might not have tried…exercise. Okay, keep reading before you roll your eyes! There two reasons why an exercise date could give you a whole new take on your relationship. I’m talking levels that lead to an even more successful, full-filling relationship is your goal. And they are…
Reason # 1: Exercise makes you horny, baby!
There’s tons of research out there about exercise being an aphrodisiac. It creates endorphins (feel good chemicals) in the brain, increases blood flow to genitals, and building muscle mass can increase testosterone levels in men. As a matter of fact, some consider exercise to be the most effective aphrodisiac.
Having spent years working out, I can attest that this is true. Nothing happens with cardio. Not for me, at least. But lifting weights is a different story. Horniness ensues everytime. There’s definitely blood rushing somewhere when I’m lifting. No complaints here. 😉
Reason #2: Working out together strengthens your bond.
I don’t need to read research to know that this is true, either. Here is how I know. I have been with my fiancé for over 13 years. During that time, I have made it my business to maintain a workout routine. Each week, I’d go exercise and he would stay home. He had absolutely, positively, no desire to start a workout regime. Until about 1 year ago. Out of the blue, he decided that he wanted to start exercising. He has been my consistent workout partner ever since. Up until then, I’ve always done it alone. Now, we plan our workouts together, encourage and challenge each other, laugh at each other and share new experiences that we never have before. Exercise has helped us to become even closer.
If a sweat session for a date now sounds like a great idea, then get ready! Here are 3 calorie torching, highly sweaty exercises you can do with your boo.
Thoughts on exercising with boo?? Let me know in the comments…
Stay Fearless 💋
Great post.
I thoroughly…sincerely agree with you…to the nth degree.
I think you are so right about this.
I believe that it’s much harder to stay together…if you don’t sweat together.
I also believe there are only 1% of couples that can actually last the full journey together…when one exercises…and the other doesn’t.
As a soft tissue specialist…I look at it not from just a social…but also a neurological standpoint.
I think it’s great that you are putting true beneficial…positive messages like this out there.
Promoting fun…and real human life…rather than glossed over marketing tools.
Really respect this and you offer some great points.
Keep doing you…look forward to more of your posts.
