Winter can be tough for those of us who prioritize good health. Here is a brief list of some of the forces working against us: Days are shorter and so there is less time to spend outside and move our bodies. It’s colder and less comfortable for some so we are less likely to spend those fewer hours outside.
If you enjoy fresh snow, identify the nearest park, golf course, etc that allows cross-country skiing, snow shoeing or walking. (Bonus points if you have a park pathway near you so you don't have to drive.) Every sunny day after fresh snow, try to spend some time playing in it! (Sunny, cold "blue bird" days often follow winter storms.)
Great advice for the cold months in locations that freeze. Here in Arizona we are outside all year long. Our “winter” is during the summer where we get our exercise in before 10am and after 5-6pm due to the heat.
Pure gold ! Thank you!
