Going out dancing for a leisurely evening out together is also good exercise. Instead of going to a movie, try going out dancing together on a Saturday night; casual social dancing is the equivalent of going for a four-mile walk. 

The new playlist will be posted before the next dance. I'll also play as many requests as I can fit in.
