Of course I say that you should tough it out, layer up, and get outside during the winter. But I don’t live in the tundra of the great white north, where the wind comes a-sweepin down the plains at minus 273 Kelvin.<\/p>\nOf course I say that you should tough it out, layer up, and get outside during the winter. But I don’t live in the tundra of the great white north, where the wind comes a-sweepin down the plains at minus 273 Kelvin.<\/p>\n
Under these conditions, even I’d have a hard time braving the grossness until the permafrost melted next spring. So how do you finesse fitness into your life?<\/p>\n
Indoor activities that you can do for just a few weeks until there’s no more risk of frostbitten toes. Sounds boring, doesn’t it? Indoor activities?<\/p>\n
But honestly, if you do simple stuff, like pushups and situps, each day for one single month it will tone you up, increase your basal metabolism, and therefor burn more of that chicken fried chicken pot pie stuffed potato comfort food-o-rama.<\/p>\n
Other great ones are yoga, jump roping, and planking. Seriously, just do these one time. Make it your daily multi-vitamin, your one-a-day, every day. Don’t skip it, and make a solid commitment to follow through just for one month. THEN, I want you to tell me how you feel at the end.<\/p>\n
