Do your outdoor exercises together.


Chances are that one or the other of you in your relationship does some form of outdoor exercise. Weather it is jogging, cycling, or just walking I hope at least that you are doing so to stay in shape. This activity to me is on of the most romantic ways to get your exercise in if you include your partner in the activity. Jogging and Cycling are a little tougher then Walking, because of the difference in fitness levels. The partner in better shape doesn't want to leave the other partner behind. That would negate the idea of exercising together. Plus, in cycling and jogging it is a littler harder to talk to each other. On the other hand you can push each other and it gives you someone to relax with after the exercise is over. Walks are great and a little less stressful on the body if you are just starting out. The also allow plenty of time to talk without being out of breath. Next time you get a chance invite your partner along on your outdoor workout or today would be a great day for the two of you to start getting fit. Starting together would be a great romantic gesture on both of your parts. It says I care about you and I want to you to be around for a long time.

Summer Fun


Summer time is here and if you haven't done it yet start planning out your summer activities. I am not talking about vacations we all know we need to plan those. I am talking about those weekend things you want to do this summer. Do the two of you enjoy amusements parks, baseball games, camping, hiking, whatever your passions you need to plan them out now. Summer has a way of getting away from us quickly and if we don't play our itinerary out now we might not get to accomplish all we want to during the summer. Think about it how many times have you debated what to do on the weekend only to end up not doing anything. This is what we want to avoid.


Make a list of all the things you want to do. Now rate them by number with one being the most important thing and then on down. Now get your schedules out and begin writing them on weekends, with the understanding of work schedules, and other events that might consume your time. I would also suggest having back up plans of inside things to just in case the weather doesn't cooperate. You don't want to be stuck at home on a weekend you wanted to go hiking just because it is raining.


Make sure to include some romance into your summer also. Things like going to see outdoor shows or fireworks are very romantic. Hiking up to a scenic overlook is a great idea for a couple as well as spending the warm summer nights looking up at the stars. Summer time to me is so romantic because you can get out of the house more. If you have kids you know you have to put them in the mix also, but this doesn't have to ruin the romance. Walking hand in hand at the zoo can be really stimulating for a couple. Going to your local fair is another romantic thing to do that might bring back some old memories.


Now what are you doing sitting her get your butts up and enjoy this beautiful weather.
