" One of the things I miss about life before kids is all the fun fitnessy things my husband and I did together--whether it was riding our bikes, kayaking or rollerblading around Seattle. It&amp;#x27;s not like we can&amp;#x27;t do it now, but we tend to workout solo more often, so the other person can chill with the kiddos. How about you? Do you like to combine romance with exercise? Check out these cute star couples who do...**** Karina wrote about the topic of meeting men at the gym recenlty. And, we talked about going on a blind date at the gym, which sounds totally crazy, doesn&amp;#x27;t it? But what about when you&amp;#x27;re in a relationship? Do you like making time for fitness with your sweetie? I personally find it rewarding and fun, and I wish I could do more of it. I loved these photos of Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake jogging together in New York City and Mary-Kate Olsen and her guy riding bikes. Cute! Here&amp;#x27;s why going on a fitness date is good for your relationship: 1. You&amp;#x27;re incorporating some healthy competition: Even if you&amp;#x27;re just riding your bike or jogging, you can each push each other a bit, which can lead to some competition, which can be totally fun (and exciting)! I loved it when I hit the ball a tiny bit farther than my husband at the golf range several months ago. (OK, I got lucky!) 2. You&amp;#x27;re both increasing your feel-good hormones: I think surviving a hard workout--together--can feel intimate. It can be a bonding experience, especially when you are feeling the sames things at the same time--the intensity of a good workout and then the release of endorphins, which can make you both feel happier and more at ease. 3. You&amp;#x27;re sharing your fitness goals: This is a biggie. We&amp;#x27;ve all heard of Part A of a couple who is fitness-obsessed (so to speak), when the other, Part B, isn&amp;#x27;t. One person is getting in shape, while the other person isn&amp;#x27;t. This can lead to all kinds of compatibility, self-esteem, and happiness issues.
