What’s the best way to get your heart racing on Valentine’s Day? Hot date? Sure, that would be nice, but single New Yorkers need a rush, too. Solution: Get your heart rate up with some holiday-themed workouts. Because nothing says, “I love me,” or “I love you,” like a trip to the gym. Whether you’re spending the most romantic day of the year with a Valentine or Netflix, the endorphins really can’t hurt.
