Couples who #GetRecd together stay together! Getting active with your valentine or significant other makes you feel more connected as a couple because it creates synchronicity, cooperative spirit, and shared passion. The time you spend together working out becomes “us” time for the two of you, which helps strengthen your connection. So during the month of February, #GetRecd with your valentine by checking out the activities listed below!
Zumbamania
On Friday, February 5th from 7:30-9:00pm, you and your valentine can come check out Zumbamania in Main Gym for a night of fun while you dance for a good cause—women’s heart disease. To help spread awareness for the disease, Zumbamania is on Nation Wear Red Day so make sure to wear red while you Zumba the night away! It’s FREE and for all skill sets, making it the perfect way to #GetRecd with your valentine. All the information can be found here.
Partner Massage Workshop
On Saturday, February 6th from 9:00am-1:00pm bring your valentine and treat yourselves to a massage experience! In this workshop you will give and receive a full body massage using various techniques taught by the instructor. Doesn’t a massage from your valentine sound great??
