Love is a Fitness Thing
St Valentine is about to make his annual appearance giving the retail sector yet another excuse to hike up prices and bombard us with cheesy adverts and pressurise us all into buying flowers and chocolates for our partners which if you just wait till the next day are 75% cheaper.
Of course, cost should pail into insignificance when it comes to the love of a partner. However, paying over inflated prices one day a year
to tell someone you love them (which you probably do every day anyway) seems a little unnecessary.
If you are single, then the day is even worse! Being constantly reminded you are single is no fun with social media awash with sloppy posts. It is impossible to get through the day without being bombarded with love hearts scattered around the nation.
However, valentine’s day creates an opportunity to really kick start your fitness goals for the year ahead whether single or in a relationship.
The reasons for this are simple. If you love your partner you will want them to feel the best they can be, rather than the traditional flowers and chocolates try something different that you can do together and both enjoy, like an exercise class or committing to a fitness regime.
The couples that sweat together stay together by increasing an emotional bond between you both, this is achieved by coordinating your actions together which in turn creates nonverbal matching which is essentially feeling more emotionally in tune with one another.
It will also increase sexual desire amongst you and your partner due to sweaty hands, a racing pulse, shortness of breath symptoms mirroring the thrill of romantic attraction.
If you are single then have no fear, St Valentine can play into your hands also and act as a motivating factor to achieve a new you.
Making a commitment to yourself is a key driver and using Valentine’s day can be the motivator you need in order to make a change your life.
Throw away the flowers, bin the choccies and this valentine’s day grab your partner and give them the best possible gift and make them the best they can possible be.
