There is always another event on the horizon that threatens our waistlines. Now that the winter holidays and Super Bowl parties have past, Valentine’s Day is staring us in the face, daring us not to buy our sweethearts a red satin heart box filled with chocolates.

If you really love your significant other, here are some heart-healthy Valentine’s gifts that will hopefully help keep them around longer!

A 5K for 2

Go to www.active.com and register yourself and your loved one in a race or some other activity. You can share some quality time training for the event and take home a medal to celebrate making it through the finish line together.

Couples Massage

Indulgence does not have to be high in calories. Find the fanciest spa in town and book a couples massage. Massages offer numerous health benefits from stimulating the lymphatic system to help your body detox, increasing circulation, and increasing mobility and flexibility. Some spas offer additional body treatments that are perfect for you to treat yourself and your sweetheart as a reward for working out regularly. If you are local to the Severna Park, Arnold and Millersville area, we highly recommend Michelle at Solei Therapeutic Massage.

Nature Box Subscription

Treat your significant other to a subscription box filled with healthy snacks. Naturebox offers healthy, natural snacks that can be delivered to a residence or office. When snack time rolls around, your loved one can nosh on a snack that meets his or her diet requirements. Instead of hitting the vending machine for a chocolate-filled calorie bomb, she can snack on heart healthy trail mix delivered right to her desk. Filter your box to meet your needs with options like low-sugar, high-protein, or snacks under 150 calories.

Personal Training Gift Certificate To Repke Fitness

The best gift for locals in the Millersville, Maryland area, would be a personal training gift certificate to Repke Fitness. I know a lot of women who fret about finding time to exercise. Giving a personal training certificate gift to Repke Fitness tells your loved one that you support their personal time and fitness goals. Let your significant other know that you want him/her to prioritize their health and schedule some time to work out, feel good, and stay healthy. Treat yourself to the same consideration if you are a singleton. We guarantee you will feel better after an hour in the studio, than you would after an evening with a box of chocolates. Call Repke Fitness today to schedule your first visit! 410-656-2121.
