Hello all my fit and fabulous followers!
Today’s article is all about you and your bae. No bae? No
problem—You can easily substitute in your bffs or your siblings. This article focuses on taking your next date outside for an enjoyable and healthy time
under the sun. If you’re a summer lover like me, then you understand why it’s
crucial to take advantage of these sunny, warm days. Before you know it, snow
will be in the forecast and we'll be bundled from head-to-toe (but no more
mentioning of the “s” word). So, put that cell phone down, turn that Netflix
movie off and throw on some sneakers… It’s time to pick an activity and break a
sweat with your man!

List of Nothing Less Than Spectacular Ideas:
- Go on a long, morning run with your love—a perfect start to the day. Your heart will be racing… in more than one way.
- Take your dog on a walk at the park. No dog? Take yourselves for a park stroll.
- Sign-up for a yoga class. You never know, your man might be dying to find his inner yogi. The best part, sometimes studios allow you a free, first trial.
- Hike a mountain. All it takes is one, good Google search to find the nearest hiking trails. If you don’t live on a mountainous terrain, your date may have to include a road trip. Don’t forget to bring some traditional picnic items for when you reach the top—lunch and a view!
- Go to a foreign food festival and taste test some unique, healthy foods.

| Tried and true: the whole climb a mountain and have a picnic idea is a great way to spend the afternoon! |
- Grab a board and go! Grab a surfboard or paddle-board and take your date out on the water—this should create some laughter. If all else fails, jump in the water and swim around. Marco? Polo?
- Froyo… a staple summer snack (healthy and delicious in one). Enjoy your summery treat out in the heat, but don’t add too many sweets or it’ll no longer be health-y.
- Go on a bike ride under the sun! Try and find an area with great scenery to further set the mood. After your ride, cool down with a fruit-filled smoothie.
- Find a “skinny” cocktail recipe to make from Pinterest and crank up the tunes: IT’S A DANCE PARTY. Nothing beats turning on music and struttin’ your stuff.
- Cool down from a long, hot day by heading to an ice-skating rink!
- Sign up for a race. 5k, 10k, half or full marathon… whichever length you chose, the miles will pass by far more quickly when you are in great company.
- Form a little friendly competition: tennis, soccer, mini golf, volleyball, racquetball, etc. Place a bet to make it even more fun!
- Find a rock climbing wall park and give it a climb!
What do ya think? Those are just a couple of ideas. Feel
