The exercise date

In relationships, few things make me happier than this pickup line:

"Want to go to the gym together?"

It's not as enticing as a shopping invite or a fancy dinner. But having a workout partner can make an otherwise routine task a little more exciting.

What's more, it's nice to date someone who has the discipline to take care of his or her body. Maintaining a regular workout regimen says a lot about your ability to commit to something and follow through.

However, I have to admit that more often than not, an exercise date can do more harm than good.

Very few couples operate on the same levels of athleticism.

You're in for a rude awakening when an innocent run with your boyfriend turns into a sweat-inducing installment of Sprinting With Satan.

Keep that possibility in mind when you check out this article, "How to go on an exercise date."

And here's a gallery of partner yoga poses. But don't get too optimistic about completing them successfully.

Unless your significant other considers a broken arm foreplay.
