It takes just a little bit more motivation to get moving when it’s cold outside. It’s hard to brave the winter chill when you’re inside and your couch is so nice and cozy. It is definitely easy to make excuses to stay inside but there are some advantages to getting out and moving.
- Outdoor exercise is a sure cure for cabin fever or the winter blues
- Exercise improves your immune system and may help fight off those pesky winter colds
- By the time swimsuit weather arrives you will already be in shape!
With a little planning and preparation cold weather exercise can be safe, effective and fun. Here are a few things to keep in mind:
1. Layer your clothing. This makes it easier to adjust as needed when you’re out.
2. Protect your extremities… make sure you hands, feet and head are well protected.
3. Don’t forget your sunscreen – it is just as easy to get sunburned in the winter as it is in the summer.
