You met a hottie in the park or some cutie during your lunch break. You got their number, but now what? Many people, men and women alike, are always searching for first date ideas. Beyond your standard drinks or dinner and a movie suggestion, the date creativity runs out pretty quickly. But have no fear, I am going to give you five reasons (some are scientific!) why doing a fitness activity as your first date is a great idea.

1. Common Interest- If you both are into fitness, then this date idea is a no brainer. If you guys both talk about how you love fitness or want to try the new yoga studio down the street, go ahead and make a move! You already have something to bond over so suggest a post class coffee at a nearby coffee shop to keep the date and endorphins going.

2. Adrenaline Increases Attraction- Speaking of bonding, did you know that if you encounter adrenaline and anxiety together, you will see the person you are with as more sexually attractive? In a 2011 study from McKendree University, researchers found that after just 15 minutes of physical activity, there was an increase of attraction levels between members of the opposite sex. Let science work for you and become more attractive to your date instantly!
