 It's February... We are right in the thick of winter. If you exercises outdoor, winter might not be a time you particularly relish. You might even have switch all of your workouts indoor by now. Or worse... You might have stopped exercising altogether because you have been less than motivated and feeling lethargic from the weather...
Curling up under a blanket by a fireplace likely sounds more appealing. But know that winter tends to bring a weight gain of 5 to 10 pounds on average. Can you only blame the weather? Winter is of course a great time for outdoor activities and cardiovascular activities. Today, my only goal is to do a review of the risks, but mostly the benefits of exercising in cold weather. You might have to take extra precautions and measures but will learn that winter brings on special benefits when it comes to exercising. |
