5 Fitness Dating Ideas for Couples
When in Manila, try Fitness Dating.
On Saturday mornings, when I take my usual runs around CCP and the Mall of Asia, it’s a pretty common sight to see couples encouraging each other to stay fit. And whenever my husband and I go home to Baguio,we always jog together, too.
Relationships put us in serious commitments, so why not extend that commitment to work out with our girlfriend, boyfriend, husband or wife? The bonus is being a model power couple that inspires others to get fit, too – or at least to become healthy and to confidently grow old and healthy together!
Here are 5 fitness dating ideas for couples that you can look into:
1. Running
It may start as a reason to see each other during the wee hours of the morning, but later on turn into a fun routine. You may even win future marathons together.
2. Hiking and Mountain Climbing
Hiking is always a fun, affordable and challenging feat for couples. We just need to make sure it’s safe when we go. You can start with Pico de Loro, Mount Pulag or Mount Apo. Who knows? You might even end up visiting more summits in other countries later on down the line.
3. Swimming, Snorkeling, Scuba Diving and Other Water Sports
When you travel with your loved one, you make special memories. While doing that, why not try including some water activities in the mix? Don’t forget to take photos for souvenirs!
4. General Sports
Volleyball, frisbee, badminton and every Filipino’s favorite: basketball. You can even get some love jerseys. Why not? Couple shirts are in, so why not step it up a little with a sporty tandem?
5. Go to the Gym
Make sure you find some moments in-between, too, but without excessive display of affection that might annoy other gym goers, please.
You can also become a member of Gold’s Gym and try their Boot Camp Sessions in line with the Famous Boot Camp DVD series. They are 60-90 minutes long and include several pit-stops, wherein you will need to run, squat, do step-ups, shoot hoops, do burpees and other several exercises. The coaches or instructors will go around to see if you are in good form and you will hear a bell to signal when to move to the next level, as well. For the complete schedule, check the gym branch nearest you.
