How do you make sure to get enough exercise in the winter if you usually exercise outside? Many of you might use treadmills and only exercise indoors - and you don't have a problem. But, for those of you who like to walk, run and be outside, the winter can be very trying. Here are a few suggestions:
1. Go to the mall. I'm always amazed when I go to the mall early, that there are so many people walking there! Some malls even have walking groups to bring walker together. You can stay fit and have fun in the winter with a walking group.
2. Time your exercise - Unless you live in Maine or Vermont, there aren't that many days when you can't find a way to be outside. Don't exercise at the coldest times of day. Try to get out in the middle of the day so that it's less cold. Similarly, jump at the better weather if you have a flexible schedule. If it's rained for two days and suddenly the sun is out - run for it and have fun enjoying the better weather while you can.
There are many ways to stay fit in the winter. No one has an excuse to stop moving - you just have to find the right plan and stick to it! Get moving and enjoy!
