Active Date Ideas for Couples?

My boyfriend and I share certain hobbies. Last summer, I got a new camera and we took a walk on a nearby bike path and took pictures together.
He's also extremely competitive so, during the summer, I bet him he can't beat me and we race, ride bikes. Sometimes, when my boyfriend wants ice cream, I make him run with me to the ice cream store and walk back (it's nearby his house.)
He's not active at all so it's a miracle I can get him to do these things. Just get creative ; ).
During the winter, you guys can take a trip to the city and walk around, go indoor mini-golfing (hey, it's not dinner lol), or, depending on where you live, there are indoor trampoline centers for adults lol. Check it out.
Hope this helped; I have the same issue...I had to get creative!

Look up Geocaching.com!!!! Geocaching is the perfect outdoor and off the couch activity because it can be done alone, or with a group, or anywhere in between. You can go as far from home, or close to home as you like, and make it as much of an adventure as you like also.

We will also load up the kiddos in a stroller and go for a walk around town, or to a local trail of some sort. Or go for a bike ride together.

One thing I want to try with my hubby is rock climbing . . . just have to try and find the time in our busy schedules I can't wait for other ideas!
Oh, and depending on location/weather, golfing sans cart and beer

I was just about to suggest rock climbing! It's perfect for couples because you'll have to work together, trust each other, solve problems together, and you'll laugh a lot too.

You can rent all your equipment at the gym and it gets more fun/challenging the more you go. Try it!

Swing dancing might be easier for him to pick up. Blues is super sexy, but pretty easy to get started in.
Take a boxing lesson together
Pack a picnic and go for a hike
"Swimming" aka horsing around in the water
If available, horseback riding
For double dates, basketball, volleyball or tennis
Is there trapeze available in your area? It tends to be the most available of the circus arts.
Couples yoga or acro yoga (oh, how I look forward to weighing the same or less than my partner so we can do this!)

Rock climbing, ice skating, snowboarding, skiing, swimming, hiking.. paintball and laser tag, DANCING

Mini golf, bowling, laser tag, paint ball, a guided walking tour of your city....in the fall you can take the "haunted" walks. These aren't going to burn tonnes of calories obviously, but are super fun and still more active then just dinner/drinks.

^This, too. My boyfriend brought me to play paintball 2 years ago and I immediately loved it. It's a really good workout if you can find a big arena and go in a group of 8-10 people (5-6 per team). The less people in the arena, the more you can run around and jump and climb the obstacles. Plus those guns aren't as light as they look, especially when you're hauling them around for a few hours.

Taking long walks and working out at the Family Y is something my husband and I are trying.

My DH and I have a 100 Hikes Challenge. It started out as my own personal challenge, but now he's participating as well! The goal is to hike 100 different trails by a goal date (in our case before my 50th birthday in two years.) He likes to find the trail to fit within the parameters of the week (dogs? kids? snow? mileage?) and we're discovering a lot more about the place where we now live. Technically, we could do this challenge in a much shorter time frame, but there are some trails we like to go back to, especially in different seasons!

The ultimate goal is to build up a four season calendar of activity oriented events. We're also thinking about adding in kayaking (Spring/Summer), going back to downhill skiing (Winter) and biking... Between trips, we're big on walking the dogs :-)

I agree with Hiking...especially if you pack a healthy picnic for whatever summit you get to. I absolutely love picking a somewhat long or strenuous hike, and packing a lunch (and maybe even a bottle of wine) for a treat at the top. Tennis is also good, even if you don't know how to play. Search for groupons or deals on lessons (I've done tennis, horseback riding, paintball, rock gyms and a bunch of others).

One thing we once did was a total 'athletic competition'. There were 10 events we decided on, 3 that he was good at, 3 that I was good at, and 4 'wild card' activities to decide which of us had bragging rights over the other (note- only do this if you like being competitive and can handle the trash talking). I think it was running, tennis, archery (we found an archery camp at a local park that had free Saturday morning lessons), mini-golf, frisbee golf, bar games (billiards/darts), skateboarding, rock climbing, and a few others. We even had little gold medals for every event that the winner would get. It was a ton of fun, and I actually want to do it again now that I've described it

Ice or roller skating are cheap, fun, and very date-date like. Skating with a boy when you were in middle school was superserious omg.
