When the weather outside is frightful, your activities can still be delightful. If you're reluctant to drive to the gym to get some physical activity there are still things you can do during our blissful winters to get your daily dose of exercise.
Shovel the snow: this is an excellent way to burn some calories since you're working multiple muscle groups with each motion. Just make sure you watch your form by using your knees and arms instead of your lower back. They also sell ergonomic shovels now, which really helps prevent injuries.
Make a snowman: make yourself feel like a kid again and bring Frosty back to life. Packed snow can get quite heavy and the constant squatting will get your blood flowing
Toboganning/Sledding: climbing up that hill is great cardio and you get rewarded with a fun slide back down
Ice Skating: most communities have local outdoor rinks that you can skate at, to make it more of a challenge grab a puck and hockey stick and have yourselves a game of shinny
There are so many activities you can do even in the colder weather, so stop hibernating and get out there.
