Outdoor winter exercise activities

You do not have to remain inside all winter, there are plenty of options outside. Make sure to layer up if it’s really cold!

Tip: wearing several thinner layers allows you to shed them one at a time as you start to warm up.

• Go for a hike. Although hiking seems like a summer activity, many hikes on established trails are an entirely different kind of beautiful in the winter. Make sure to bring enough water; you still need to stay hydrated even if it’s cold outside!
• Try a new winter sport. If you live somewhere with snow, there are many to choose from – skiing, snowboarding, sledding, and snowshoeing are just a few options.
• Look for a local ice-skating rink. Ice skating or hockey are fun ways to develop a new skill (or brush up on an old one!) while burning a few calories.
• Find a local holiday 5k and sign up with someone you know. Whether you choose to run or walk, it’s a great opportunity to push yourself or make memories with a friend.
  
  

  
  

  OTHER WINTER WORKOUT TIPS

  If you’re struggling to stay motivated, find an accountability partner someone who will either exercise with you, or who checks in on you to see how you are doing.  Setting a goal (big or small) can also help keep you going. Also try setting a specific time each day to do something active.
