1. Take dance lessons together

Swing dancing, line dancing, and other types of dance classes care popular options with local dance classes often catering to adult beginners. Even if you have two left feet, this one is bound to turn into a memory you’ll love to recall.

2. Schedule a romantic walking snack date

Enjoying a healthy snack as your walking is a whole lot more enjoyable than simply walking, making this the perfect active date night idea that doesn’t require tons of skill and finesse. Find a scenic waterway to snack while walking and even enjoy the sunset for a truly romantic outing. We enjoyed our yummy treats from Fit Bowl Co. Willie ordered the Berry Power which is the Original OG blend topped with granola, strawberries, blueberries, chia seeds and almond butter. While I ordered the Dragoness which is the Dragon blend, with granola, strawberries, bananas, coconut flakes and chia seeds.

3. Test your teamwork with a two-person kayak

If kayaking sounds more appealing, rent a two-person kayak for a few hours as a great workout. Kayaking is also a wonderful way to practice your communication and teamwork skills.

4. Pack a healthy, romantic picnic

Florida is full of lovely parks, beaches and open spaces, so consider packing a picnic for your next date night. All you need is a big blanket and some healthy snacks, but consider bringing a Frisbee along to add some more activity to your date.

5. Take a cooking class together

Do a quick Google search to see what types of options you have nearby, and then get ready to learn some new recipes that you can cook together during future date nights. Some culinary skills even have classes on basic kitchen skills or specific types of cuisine.

6. Try cooking a new recipe together

If a structured cooking class isn’t your idea of a perfect date night, try cooking something up at home. You could pick a dish from a county you’d love to visit together, try to recreate a favorite family recipe, or make something with a unique ingredient you’ve tried before.

7. Be a tourist in your home town

No matter where you live, there’s likely something new to experience. If you’re stumped, try seeing what you can find on a website like Roadtrippers, which often has recommendations for little-known points of interest.

8. Splurge on a couple’s massage

Being healthy isn’t just about eating well and being active. Taking care of yourself is also an important part of living a healthy lifestyle, and what better way to unwind than with a couple’s massage? If you both need a break from constantly running around, make sure this is your next date night.
