Fun & Easy Winter Fitness Tips

It is very hard to find the time to workout during any season, but winter fitness can be especially tough, seeing as it's so cold out. Driving to the gym is harder, the holidays are coming, or the holidays are just gone, etc. There are many many things you can do to keep fit during the winter. You may know some or all of these tips, but it never hurts to read them again. Sometimes it takes one more time to get the right motivation.

The main idea here is to find what makes you happy, a workout that you will continue to do at least 4 times a week, no matter what. You have to stay healthy, and working out is a major part of being healthy. With the big pig out holidays in the winter, you have to be extra careful about watching your waistline.

Here are some tips that might help you work up a sweat. You might even hate for winter to leave!

• Shovel the snow. Boring tip? No, it isn't, not when you think about it. Many people either pay someone to come and shovel their driveways, or they buy a snow blower. Try to find the time to shovel out the driveway yourself, and there is a high intensity workout right there. Be careful not to strain yourself, though.


• Walk. Walking in the snow, with the crisp cool air all around not only boosts your mood, but it boosts your calories burnt as well. Your legs have to work a little harder to get through all that snow, and therefore, you burn more fat!


• Break your workout time into smaller chunks of say, 5 minutes at a time. Surely you can find time for 2 or more of these a day, and if you don't get to your full goal, at least you have done something.


• Take the stairs whenever you can. Everyone knows walking up and down stairs is a workout. So do it.


• Get a Wii fit kit. It comes with a balance board, and a fitness disc, and it is sure to keep you occupied all winter and summer long! Adopted From www.associatedcontent.com/article
