10 Valentine's Ideas for Active Couples

TEAM TGA

Valentine’s Day is almost here! There’s no need to spend it at an overpriced, overrated restaurant. Get those endorphins pumping with an active Valentine’s Day this year. It will be more memorable than ever.

10 Ideas for an Active Valentine’s Day:

Hike to the summit.Hikes are the perfect way to enjoy good conversation immersed in the beauty of nature. Pack a thermos of coffee and a muffin to share if it's an early morning hike, then take some time at the destination to sit and enjoy the view. If it’s an evening hike, pop some bubbly and watch the sunset. Don’t forget Copper Fit Energy Compression Socks. The new arch support technology provides a targeted compression band that gently hugs and lifts the arch and ankle to help reduce foot and leg fatigue. They also help to increase circulation, reduce swelling, and improve foot and leg comfort, performance, and recovery.
Daredevils only!If you want to have a Valentine's Day you won’t forget - go skydiving. The same reaction in the body when you experience a “fight or flight” happens when you skydive - a total surge of adrenaline. It’s a memory you won’t forget - because you can’t help but be hyper-present when flying through the air at 120 mph! Additionally, research shows that strong, long-lasting relationships are fed through experiencing new things together. Just make sure skydiving isn’t a surprise to your date. Plan ahead to ensure you are both “on board” to jump off! And since it’s winter, dress warmly!
Go “old school”. If you are over 40, what was your favorite date as a kid? The roller rink might be on the list. Maybe play games at an arcade or even shoot hoops at the local park. Take a trip back in time and plan a teenage Valentine's date.
Hit the (mini) greens.Miniature golf isn’t just for the kids—a double date with friends for a golf foursome. Create new challenges on each hole to make it fun and funny. Try playing one hole with only the non-dominant hand; have everyone put the ball backward through their legs on another hole! Options are endless, what matters is enjoying quality time with your valentine.
Pickleball for the win. It’s sweeping the nation, so hop on board. If you are a regular player, set up a Valentine's Day Pickleball Tournament with other couples. Check out the USA Pickleball Website here for information on setting it up.
Garden together.That’s right, there is nothing more romantic than growing something together! Treat your sweetheart to a small citrus tree. Plant it together and watch it grow. It’s the gift that keeps on giving. Or, spend the day planting a small garden or even a window box of flowers or herbs. Digging, bending, and working in the garden are active ways to spend the day. For extra support and comfort, use Copper Fit Hand Relief Compression Gloves. Don’t let carpal tunnel or soreness stop your plans.These open-finger gloves fit like a second skin and provide support, relief, and recovery from sore muscles and painful joint stiffness in your wrists, palms, and fingers.

Hop on a bike. If you are lucky enough to live where it's not snowing or raining on Valentine’s Day, plan an e-bike adventure. Companies like Lime make it easy to rent bikes near you. Of course, regular bikes are a great go-to. Pack a picnic and enjoy the day. If you’ve got snow on the ground, visit tripoutside.com to find all kinds of outdoor rental items - skis, kayaks, and more.
Just dance. This date is sure to be full of laughs. Try line dancing at a Country Bar. It’s not complicated, and you’ll pick it up fairly quickly if you can count to 10 and do basic footwork. Maybe ballroom, salsa, or swing is more up your alley? Search for a local Fred Astaire Dance Studio at fredastair.com. There are over 140 in the U.S. alone!
Be yogis.Sign up for a yoga class together and enjoy a “chill” day. Not only is yoga great for increased flexibility, strength, balance, and posture, but it’s also a fantastic way to reduce stress and anxiety. Couples yoga takes it to the next level, where you assist each other in the poses. Healthline.com says it “allows two people to relate to one another through assisted poses. From stretching your levels of trust to strengthening your communication, couples yoga can positively affect your relationship that extends far beyond the physical.”
No date, no problem! If you don’t have a date this Valentine’s Day, it’s the perfect time to get all your other solo friends together and set up a tournament or group activity. It can be a fun softball game if you live where it’s warm - or a singles ski day if you live in the snow. Spearhead something special!

Start planning for the best Valentine’s Day ever. Stay active, and you’re sure to have fun. Bring Copper Fit produces along for added support, whatever you do!
