Here’s a selection of our favorite Valentine’s Day workouts, we hope you <3 them! Of course, there could be a chocolate reward at the end…
Twos and 14s rule the day here, of course. But notice too that there’s a good mix of rowing and/or SkiErging combined with moves that target pretty much the entire body. These are great total-body workouts that would be good to do any time you want a solid workout for a general audience.
