8 great outdoor fitness dates

Up the romance as you stay active and fit.
Frisbee, getting outside with the pets

7. Toss around this idea
Frisbee golf is an adaptation that has you tossing Frisbees toward a target (usually a net) the same way you would hit a golf ball toward the pin. Most cities have Frisbee golf courses set up in local parks. It's easier than golf (depending on how well you throw a Frisbee) and has a high fun factor because it's pretty novel.

Games can take a couple of hours but since the courses are usually free you can walk off the course whenever you've had enough. No access to a Frisbee golf course? Just head to the park and toss a Frisbee with each other. Face to face conversation with a bit of distance between you is a great tension reducer, especially on those early dates, and Frisbee tossing can generate a bit of running around and a few laughs.

8. Meet the pets
Any pet owner will tell you, "If they don't like my dog, they're out." Since pets are often raised to the status of family member by their owners, it's usually a big deal to meet and get along with your partner's pooch. And if you're a pet owner too, you want to know that your doggies get along as well as you do.

Dog walk dates centre the energy around your pets as a topic of conversation; they also introduce another common interest you two may share, and let you see if there is chemistry between date and beast. Since dogs require regular exercise, this could be a way to spend more time with your love interest.

The list of possible outdoor dates is endless. Be creative. Consider your common interests and the amount of time you have (or would like) to spend with your partner. Physical activity gives you energy and makes you feel good about yourself, and since confidence and sense of adventure are attractive qualities for anyone to possess, that's bound to make your mate stand up and take notice.
