Winter Fitness

Millions of people for obvious reasons become less active during the winter time. Combined with holiday sweets and treats, winter can be one of the easiest seasons to lose your shape. I’m sure a lot of us don’t like working hard to get in shape for summer and then losing it around winter time just to have to do it all over again next year. For those of us that become less active in the winter then the summer I’ve decided to list off a bunch of activities you can do in the winter to stay active and in shape.

Shovel the snow instead of use a snow blower.
Go sledding, walking up hills can result in a great lower body workout.
Go to a gym or exercise in doors.
Go ice skating.
Go on a walk and enjoy the snow.
Go shopping for presents, there is plenty of walking involved.
If you use a wood burning stove or fire place go scavenge for fire wood instead of buying it.
Go build a snow man.
Go around and look at Christmas decorations.
Play with the kids or animals if you got em.
Take a vacation, if being active in winter isn’t your thing, go somewhere warm and get active there.
Get some house work done, clean out the garage or something.

Just GET OUT and do something. Go to the movies, hang with friends, or go bowling. Anything you can do that doesn’t involve you sitting around all the time watching tv and eating sweets.
