Valentine’s Day often means eating chocolates, going out to dinner, and cuddling up watching a movie with your significant other. While we don’t think you should deprive yourself of those traditions, why not start the day off with a healthier activity? Not only will you burn calories and strengthen your heart and muscles, but you’ll have fun connecting with your partner in a new way too.
