Share the Spirit of Valentine's Day All Year Long to Beat Stress

Valentine’s Day has come and gone. I hope you took the day to show your love and affection to your husband-to-be with flowers, a healthful dinner, and a romantic movie. But, of course, you shouldn’t be stingy with your warmth the other 364 days of the year. Especially if you’re stressed.

Why’s that?

Because research shows that daily contact with your romantic partner may be the best protection from the negative effects of stress.

It’s true! By spending some time each day with your partner, you’ll benefit from some serious stress-busting love power.

Take a few moments to share a hug, hold hands or make plans to meet during the day for coffee or dinner.

Another stress-buster for couples?

Exercise.

Gym time can be an oasis from the daily grind. Couples can even schedule gym time together!

At PEAK Strength & Conditioning CLUB we offer our WeddingShape Body-Sculpting Boot Camp and personal training session on a one-on-two training basis in addition to our traditional one-on-one private training. It's something to ask your personal trainer about. So, go grab your sweetie and get to sweating! Not only will you reap the benefits of spending some QT with your cutie, you’ll reap the benefits of regular exercise that experts recommend.

Have a great weekend,

Joe
