Forget chocolates for Valentine's day this year -- instead, do something for each other that helps shrink the waistline rather than expand it. Gold's Gym is offering an Intimacy Workout just in time for the most romantic day of the year because they think there's nothing sexier than getting sweaty -- and healthier -- with your significant other. Research shows that dieting as a couple works better than going at it alone. Plus, exercising together has been shown to seriously improve your sex life.

Here's the deal: All you have to do is go to this link and download each of the four relationship-building couples routines, plus the free seven-day VIP membership. Then get yourself -- and your partner -- down to a Gold's to try them out. Gold's will make sure they have plenty of personal trainers on hand in case you and your significant other need assistance.

The workout was created by Gold's Gym and psychologist Dr. Belisa Vranich, who specializes in both sports psychology and relationships. Besides building a killer six-pack, the routines focus on building intimacy and trust between couples, as well as facilitating communication. Expect do a series of lunges, planks, squats and crunches with your loved one, all of which are meant to challenge your body and heart.

Keep it up and with any luck, you and your lover may just start to look as toned as this buff Hollywood couple.
