Valentine’s Day Workouts for You and Your Special Someone!
Don’t Skip a Valentine’s Day Workout
In just a matter of days, another Valentine’s Day will arrive and sweethearts around the world will celebrate their relationships. After the past year we’ve all been through, spending time with your special someone might mean just a little bit more. Even though we’re sure you’re excited to celebrate the holiday, why not add a Valentine’s Day workout to the festivities?!
Valentine’s Day is a unique holiday, as it’s usually celebrated between two people, rather than families and friends. This means that most of us will have a little spare time during the day to squeeze in a workout. Working out together can be a fun and unique way to set the day’s activities off. Get in a workout in the morning to energize you for the rest of your day together!
Or, you can close out your day with a workout and then enjoy a romantic night together.
Working Out Brings You Closer
There’s a reason people who love to work out at the gym will often look for partners who love it, too. Working out as a couple is a great way to stay motivated, but there’s also a biological element involved. As you work out, your body releases endorphins, those awesome little hormones that make you feel good. This means that not only does the act of supporting each other bring you closer together as a couple, but biology is hard at work, too!
Gyms Will Be Open on Valentine’s Day
Given the nature of the holiday, fitness centers will remain open during their normal business hours. Therefore, you have no reason to skip a session, even if you choose to shorten it a bit so you’ll have a little extra time with your partner. You can choose a Valentine’s Day workout in the form of cardio, a Les Mills class, weight training, personal training, or whatever else gets your blood flowing.
Quick DIY Home Workout
Even though there’s no reason to skip the gym on Valentine’s Day, it’s understandable that you might want to limit the time actually at the gym if you have big plans. If you’re looking for a quick workout that you can do at home or at the gym, try five sets of these exercises:
- 10 Burpees
- 20 Air Squats
- 20 Push-Ups
- 20 Walking Lunges
- 20 Sit-Ups
- 10 Leg Raises
