Both men and women crave the satisfaction of a good shared physical activity in a successful relationship. And not just THAT physical activity, while we’re at it, but any satisfying shared physical activity. Besides, if you want to have a healthy sexual relationship, you better keep your non-bedroom physical relationship active and vigorous. Here are a few things that you can do to up your relationship’s physical quotient:
Golf: All too often the golf course becomes the man sanctuary, full of cigars, raunchy jokes and stupid bets. But golf is a great place to connect to your lover while keeping up the old heart rate. And unlike many other ball sports, players do not actually guard each other (tenacious defense tends to lead to relationship problems.) The course is beautiful, the pace is your own and you can even have a nice dinner at the end of play. Golf can be a wonderful his and hers sport.
Yoga: With Yoga studios popping up at a near Starbucks rate, you and your significant other have run out of excuses. While Yoga can pay major mental dividends, we are going to focus on the physical ramifications. Super for your flexibility (a big plus in the bedroom) and core strength, there are as many forms of Yoga as there are snowflakes in a blizzard – you will find one that works for you if you look. Not to mention the fact that Yoga is one of the few organized physical activities where women tend to have an innate advantage over men, which can be a welcome change of pace for many relationships.
Walking/ Hiking: Most couples should not run together. In fact, most couples who do “run together” seldom actually run together – they got at their own speeds. A walk, on the other hand, is a great way to get some moderate exercise and enjoy each others’ companies. You can even stroll through some lovely environments for ambience (especially in a hike.) If you two should decide to hike together, remember to select a path which you both can enjoy without over-exerting yourselves.
Ball in Motion Games: The last on our list are the games like basketball, baseball, tennis and soccer where a ball is in constant motion (more or less.) These games are seldom good fits for couples’ activities as they tend to favor the stronger, more athletic member of the relationship. If you must, then make sure to play a low-contact low-competition form of the game, like HORSE in basketball or catch in baseball.
Creating a non-sexual physical relationship with your significant other is not solely about working out – these are not means to extricate yourself of the gym. Participating in physical activity with your partner is a necessary part of sustaining a full adult relationship… besides, once the blood gets flowing who knows where it’ll lead.
