Cold Weather does not mean you should stop working out
Now I know it is hard to work out when it is cold. You just feel like bundling all up and not doing anything. And that is why a lot of people gain weight in the winter. Well here in Douglasville, it is not really a COLD place. I grew up in Minnesota so people whining about it being cold and not being able to go outside in the snow, I get that. But here, there is no snow, or the mud, slush and mess that comes with it. So there are very few days that you couldn’t get out for a walk with the kids. And it can get chilly but that is why they make warm clothes and gloves.
Walking is an easy cardio that almost anyone can do. Regardless of your fitness level, you can get out for a walk.
As far as other activities, why not take it indoors. Either bring it to the gym, indoor pool or even try mall walking. No, not shopping. But a few trips up and down the mall can help you get your walking in.
Need something new? I run every weekend at Sweetwater State Park because it is different every time and I love it. It is good to try changing it up once in a while. Whether that means getting outside, trying a group fitness class or booking a personal training session — whatever it is — it is better than doing nothing
