1. Go walking with a friend. It is easier to stay motivated when you have a pal by your side. Instead of meeting for coffee, gab while on the go and catch up over a brisk 30 minute walk! Plus....walking on ice is easier than running.
2. Shovel! I know we all hate that word, but it can be great exercise. Shoveling your driveway for 30 minutes is a great way to get fit. However, make sure you don't lift too much at one time; shovel small to medium sized loads so you don't strain your back.
3. Go skiing or snow shoeing. If there must be snow we may as well use it. Get together with a friend or your partner and spend an afternoon enjoying the outdoors. You'll have fun and not even realize that you're burning off those calories!
4. Join that fitness class you've been wanting to try. It is a fun way to meet people and motivate yourself to get fit. Who knows, you may even find yourself going again...and again.
These are just a few ways I thought could spark that "get up and go" in us all. Whatever you choose to do, remember not to strain yourself and have fun while doing it!
Happy Exercising!
