Consider working out together. Yes, that's what I said. Go to a fitness center and spend time there as a pair. Have a talk with your significant other to ensure the plan is suitable for both of you and to decide what you'll do when you get there. You may choose to work the same routine. In that case, just modify the exercises to fit your ability. He could be great motivation to give you that extra push! If you decide to do your own routines, enjoy sharing the space. You will have opportunities to chat, give secret looks and possibly even offer your guy a spot. If you part for resistance-training routines, hook up for cardio or even flexibility training. Couples stretching is a great way to get close. A fitness center is a prime place to spend time with your significant other, so set a date and hit the gym!

Of course, we know you can't spend all your time playing and racing and pumping iron. When you're dating, dining out is going to happen. On the occasions when you find yourself at a restaurant, make wise choices. It's one thing to go out once a month and indulge. It's another to go out two or three times a week and do the same. First things first ‑- that delicious warm bread that's so tempting? Remove it from the table. Here are two reasons why: One, the extra calories will ultimately end up on your hips, and two, you don't want to fill up on something you can buy at a local bakery. Next, as you scan the menu of glorious mouthwatering food, be aware of sauces, especially when the description says "smothered in." Strike sauce-laden choices from your mental menu immediately. Instead, focus on lean proteins. Often, meals come with a vegetable and a carbohydrate to complete your dietary needs. Many restaurants, especially high-end ones, will substitute healthy choices if requested. It doesn't hurt to ask!
