Not like that people!!!
I am talking dates that can include moving your body! I thought it would be nice to help steer your minds along the lines of doing more physical activities outside the bedroom with your husbands. For those that are dating, these activities can fill your many date mornings and afternoons.
You can save the nights for the regular stuff like movies, dinner, and plays!
- Skating; Ice, Roller Skates, In-Line
- Start a hobby together like Bicycling
- Go horseback riding – it’s good therapy
- Take a Body balancing class – yoga, Pilates, etc.
- Take a cardio group fitness class
- Take a weight lifting class
- Walk a Trail
- Take Boxing Lessons
- Go Hiking
- Bowling
- Swimming
- Play on a Coed Softball Team
- Attend a cross fit session
- Shoot Hoops or Play H.O.R.S.E.
- Do a boot camp class
- Kayaking and Canoeing
- Batting Cages
- Salsa Lessons or other Dance lessons
- Pop in a workout DVD and make a picnic lunch or dinner to eat afterwards
- Run for pleasure or do a race together like Run or Dye
Another local run I’m proud to be affiliated with is coming up soon!

LOVE that pic of you in your skates so cute!! I can’t ice skate for my life so I’m impressed. 🙂 Great list. You know I saw your title and was like WELL ALRIGHT NOW!

Thanks Nellie! This weekend was only like my 3rd or 4th time, but I love roller blading so I guess it just transfers!
I would love to go ice skating… but I know while my husband may be willing, he cannot skate very well. 🙂 I’ve been ice + roller skating since 1st grade, so I love it!

Ha, the mister was holding on to that rail all the way around and we still had a lot of fun!
My mind was in the straight gutter. I would do walks but then again I have been trying to get my hubs to walk for the longest and that has not happened. I would love to do a dance class though something fun and different to get the body moving.

I love the idea of going ice skating. That is something my husband and I have never done together. I might have to suggest it for this year!

My physicality will include lifting my fork to mouth when I eat desserts. Gonna have my birthday dinner this weekend!!! I’m turning 41, yo.

Happy Birthday Josie!
The beginning of your post made me laugh- lol! You look fabulous in your skates 🙂 Great ideas, definitely healthier than eating chocolate all day and lounging on the couch. Sometimes I like doing that too though lol
Aishah @ Coffee, Love, Health recently posted…Guess who got a workout in?
Minus the chocolate (I don’t like it), I’m with you! Everything deserves a chill lax day!
So many great suggestions! My husband and I usually go to the gym together on the weekends but do totally different workouts. The boys were just saying they wanted to go ice skating so we may try that as a family adventure.
Allie recently posted…The Rundown: Snow? Whatever.
There were several families there this weekend where we went and they were having tons of fun with different people falling, holding on to rails, etc!
I love this list! There are definitely a few on here we enjoy like kayaking, dancing, bowling etc! How about trying indoor rock climbing? Perfect for cold weather!
FitBritt@MyOwnBalance recently posted…Sydney: The Beaches and More!
Oh, that sounds great Brittany! The Mister and I will find a place to give that a try!
I love the ice-skating idea, but when I mentioned it to honey before this he already said that he wasn’t having it! LOL! We like to go bowling a lot and I like to do batting cages as well. These are some great ideas Joi!

Well, I suggested it this weekend and the Mister was a real trooper holding on to that rail 🙂 !
You already know I’m dropping everything to go read this post you’ve linked !
I would love to roller skate with my husband. We took the kids to an arcade over the weekend and it’s next to a skating rink. They were playing “Thriller” in there and it was just so catchy, I wanted to be in there skating. I wasn’t bad when I was a kid!
Tamara recently posted…I Wanna See You Be Brave.
Ha! Beyonce’s “Drunk In Love” was playing in my mind when I saw this post title. I thought you went straight there! These are great suggestions. I would love to do a race, walking a trail, swimming, or skating with my husband. “We be all night…” LOL Love ya, Joi!
Kimberly H. Smith recently posted…February Foto Friday
I have always wanted to take dance lessons – ballroom, salsa, whatever – I think that is the activity I would pick to do with Chris for Valentines Day!!!
Kim recently posted…Celebrating Russia (host of the 2014 Olympics)
LOL! You know what I thought first.
I love roller skating…one of my favorites. Although I stick to four wheels. I’m horrible on inline and my rear can’t take it.
I’ve never actually worked out with a guy before. When Jason and I were first together we always worked out separately although all of our equipment has always been in the house. We used to play tennis (or attempt to) and do a lot of walking together though. Good times!
Carla recently posted…Weekend Recap: Disney Junior Live, Tiara’s and Friends
I wish the Husband and I were able to take jogs together. Unfortunately he’s MUCH faster and fitter than me. Though he’s said that he would consider taking ballroom dance classes with me…which is an offer I plan on accepting (and enforcing!) someday. If it were warmer, I know the Husband would love to go backpacking/camping in one of the remote state parks.
Looks like the Bookworm run is a great one! I’m all for any race that welcomes strollers and encourages children’s reading skills!
Leslie recently posted…{Listicles} Things that Need Fixing
Good ideas! We’ve been snowshoeing on the weekends because there is so much snow here, and that’s been nice. Another storm is headed our way, so I have a feeling I will be snowshoeing more than running for a while!

I always wanted to learn to ice skate. But then, I can barely roller skate so I don’t know how that would go!
You know my mind went straight to the gutter when I read the title of this post…..
LaShawn recently posted…10 on 10: Love
I love these outdoor couple activities! I like walking with my honey. It gives us time to talk, laugh, and enjoy nature. Working out with him is a different story…he acts like a drill Sargent. I may have to hurt him if we work out together again, lol!
Sherelle recently posted…My Year of Natural Hair Styles: A Review
All great ideas! That title had me thinking: all right! Dr Love is in the house, gonna share something today! Hahaha I love the idea of ice skating, but after my bout with roller blading, I’m going to stick with walking 🙂
KalleyC recently posted…Choosing Love over Hate
You look so cute in your skates girlie! My husband and I do walk together, except on those days when he’s really intense(he’s no fun then), lol! I would love to take a boxing class with him and I’ve always wanted to take up salsa or some type of ballroom dancing. Great list Joi…thanks for sharing! Have a wonderful week my friend! xoxo
Michell recently posted…Mastering YOU Monday…how much is too much?
You know I was all bug-eyed at the title, Joi! I’m a mess, girl! But those are excellent ideas, and you are just the cutest in your skates, Miss Thang!

We’re planning to go play paintball for Valentine’s! That should be a work-out!

Well you said, “Not like that” so I can’t go there. I will tell you that we can’t get along working out together. Unt uh. It is fun doing things as a family though because we aren’t competing with one another if we have Christopher along – so biking is fun. I do think we do good at a run or dye kind of thing though.
Kenya G. Johnson recently posted…We shall never blog again…
ice-skating would be so fun, especially with the olympics going on right now.
What a great list. I enjoy roller skating…still awkward on the blades, much less ice skates. I’d definitely go for a run with the hubs. His legs itches when he runs…it’s so funny to watch…oh sorry…um Valentines ( can’t make fun of him). The next best thing would be to walk the trails. So relaxing…
I’ve been horseback riding so that’s definitely out. I was sore for 3 days in my inner thighs.lol
Hope recently posted…Birthday vlog
I actually love these ideas. Despite having not been ice-skating since I was about 10, hubby and I were thinking about doing it for our first valentine’s day as a married couple. But I don’t know if we’ll feel like going out with all this snow.
I hope you are right about roller blading transferring over to skates. I’ve been doing it a lot lately with my little sister as part of the Big Brother Big Sister program.
Terri recently posted…Why I Admire the Hustle of Strippers
I knew this would be something good based on the title! LOL! You look so adorable in your ice skates! I just found on in Phoenix they put down some ice for the kids to skate. I will be excited to do that one day. I’ve been ice skating like once before and it was lots of fun. I love all of your ideas. I wonder if I will ever do a 5K since I’ve heard about it in the blog world so many times. A fun one in the future with the kids might be a great experience. 🙂
