Exercising in the Cold

Yessi Pratiwi — January 25, 2008 / 11:30 pm

When it’s cold, people naturally want to stay indoors. It’s nice and warm to be in our house, why should we go outside?

A good way to overcome this is by warming up in the comfort of your own home. A few sets of pushups, sit ups, pull ups, and jumping jacks. Do we need to do this? You know, once you get hot, you’ll want to go outside to cool off. Adventurous people will not wait for inside to sleep. Exercising outside will be much challenging, of course.

But, before exercising outside, there are some things you need to do remember. First, of course make sure you’re dressed properly. Wear hats, scarves, gloves and thick socks. Try wearing clothes that are easy to remove. You can get hot even in the cold and when this happens you want to let your body properly cool down.

The kinds of activities available to you in the winter are also different. Instead of swimming, you might want to go skiing, skating or snowboarding. You can also play with the kids. They like to go sledding, play hockey build snowmen and have snow ball fights. All that running around, up and down the hills will burn plenty of calories with the maximum amount of fun. You won’t even know you’re exercising.

Safety can also be a bigger concern in the winter. Less sunlight combined with icy roads can be dangerous for runners, bikers and walkers. Avoid running the street and abstain from it when during the twilight hours. Try exercising in the afternoon and on the sidewalk.
