Valentine’s Day is a day of love. It’s to show anyone that you love them, so it can be a significant other, a spouse, or your family! Here are 6 ideas to get you thinking about Valentine’s Day this year.
Two Ideas for Couples
1. Date night in! What’s your significant other’s or spouse’s favorite food or restaurant? Try cooking it at home and putting a healthy spin on it! Here’s a healthy lasagna to get you thinking.
2. Treat each other to a massage! Holidays can be stressful but this one won’t be if you’re enjoying a relaxing massage. Check the spas in your area to see if there are any holiday specials, then share a healthy dessert like this secret ingredient chocolate mousse!
Two Ideas for Families
1. Trampoline adventure! Valentine’s Day is all about hearts, so why not exercise yours by going to a trampoline park? This is a fun and active way to celebrate this holiday.
2. Go skiing! Skiing is a great workout and can be catered to any age. Bundle up with your family and hit the slopes to get your heart racing this Valentine’s Day. Then come home to some healthy homemade vegetable soup.
Two Ideas for Both
1. Ice-skating. Ice-skating is fun because it is a workout and will get muscles moving in different ways so that you will be sore the next day! Hold on tight to your loved one, whether spouse or child, so you don’t fall down! Check out your local ice rink and see when they are open.
2. Love isn’t just for people, it can be for animals, too! Share your love with an animal by going to an animal shelter. Playing with puppies and kittens will make your day better as well as the animal’s day! And who knows, you might come home with a new member of the family!
