How to get your heart racing this Valentine’s Day
Emma White - Nutritionist | 11 Feb, 2020
The lead up to Valentine's Day is full of enticing offers for fancy 3 course meals, or expensive gifts of chocolates and wine. This year, rather than following the norm and organising something food focused with your loved one, why not break the mould and burn some calories instead!
We've put together some fun date activity ideas and how many calories you could burn doing each.
Ice skating – 381 kcals per hour
Wrap up and hit the ice together to get your heart racing. You could burn around 381 kcals an hour!
Bowling – 127 kcals per hour
Nothing like a bit of gentle competition to spark that loving feeling. Throwing that hefty ball at 10 pins could burn around 127 kcals an hour.
Trampolining – 215 kcals per hour
We're all just big kids at heart, so why not let out your inner child and get jumping. Trampolining is very energetic and can burn around 215 kcals per hour.
Roller skating – 381 kcals per hour
Look online for your local roller disco and get your tickets booked! Skating can be lots of fun, and can burn approximately 381 calories an hour.
Wii Sports – 228 kcals per hour
Why not save your money and have a night in playing games together? Set a competition and the winner has to make dinner for the rest of the week! Playing the sports games on a Wii can burn over 200 calories per hour.
Dancing – 222 kcals per hour
Hit the town and go dancing or why not book onto a dancing class together? Fun is guaranteed and you can burn over 200 calories per hour – more if you really work up a sweat!
