Healthy_valentines_day_date main

Valentine’s Day is coming up quick, and the scramble to put together the perfect date has begun. Making last minute reservations at her favorite restaurant—or any restaurant for that matter—is getting more impossible by the hour. But look at it this way, not being able to book a lengthy three course dinner might actually put you in a position to throw together a better evening for her. She doesn’t want to stuff herself silly, anyway. You both enjoy being active and staying healthy, so why not do it on V-Day? Plan something that will make her feel a little more special than taking her out for a cliché expensive, no-thought-required dinner date.

Take a cooking class

Every girl wants a great meal on V-Day, but having a professional cook it for you is only one way to get one. Think of it this way. Taking her to a cooking class is an all around win. She feels like you put some real thought into your date (because you did), you’ll actually learn a thing or two and you can’t really screw the food up because you have an expert taking you through it step by step.

Get a couples massage

This is the perfect excuse to spoil yourself while you spoil her. Book an appointment for a joint massage at a local spa and you’ll start your Valentine’s Day off on the right foot. Not only will it help her to unwind and feel appreciated, but also chances are it will get her in the mood to be touched by you later on.

Work out together

Who says you can’t break a sweat on Valentine’s Day? Go for a run together, take her to your favorite workout, or offer to join her at hers. Bonus points if you go to her dance-cardio class—she probably won’t stop talking about it for days. Once you’re out of breath, and high on some feel-good endorphins it’s a good idea to re-fuel your bodies. Might we suggest a healthy post-workout shake? A medium size Protein Berry Workout smoothie from Jamba Juice has got 20 grams of protein, which will help you both recover and reboot for some more V-Day fun.

Go to a jazz club or see a local band

Don’t be afraid to plan something more hip. You might not be able to take her to see her favorite artist, but heading to a jazz club or out to see a local band play will do the trick. Music puts everyone in a good mood, and the best thing about this date is that you can ask her to dance (she might act embarrassed, but she will love it, trust us).

Go for a bike ride

If she’s not game to seriously sweat, going for a long leisurely bike ride is a great alternative to a more high intensity workout. It’s also got a little more romantic. Try to plan a route ahead of time, preferably one with a little scenery. Getting out in the fresh air together will be fun, and you can end the ride by enjoying a home cooked meal at your place. Simple, cost-effective and cute—you can’t go wrong.

Travel back to the ’90s

Sure, you could impress her with something trendy, like indoor rock climbing or a trapeze class. But she’ll also appreciate a good 90s throwback date, like lazar tag or roller skating. If you’ve got a stressed-out workaholic on your hands, a light-hearted night that takes her back to the days of grade-school birthday parties is sure to put a smile on her face.

Surprise her with a brown-bag lunch

Having flowers delivered to her desk is a tried-and-true strategy for wishing her a happy Valentine’s Day, but showing up in-person means even more. If you can sneak away from your job for an hour, surprise her at work with a healthy lunch that you’ve made yourself. Including these foods could pay off after hours.

Go ice skating

If the Winter Games are inspiring you to get active on the ice or snow, take her skating. While your performance probably won’t put Marissa Castelli and Simon Shnapir to shame, hitting the rink is the perfect excuse to hold her hand for an hour—and of course, get in a solid leg workout.

Healthy_valentines_day_date 2

Hit up a comedy club

If you can’t stomach another romcom on the big screen, try a Valentine’s Day-themed stand-up show. Laughing burns calories. And, if you’ve ever been to a comedy club, you know that dating, love, and sex are pretty popular topics with the guy or girl on stage—plus coupled-up audience members are often prime targets for a little public embarrassment. Whether the main act is awful or amazing, you’ll definitely have something to talk about afterward.
