We’ve seen all the headlines the past two weeks about
blizzards and dangerously low temperatures all over the country. Being outside
in these conditions is dangerous and if you’re not dressed properly can have
serious consequences.
So how do you stay active when it’s too cold, snowy or icy
to go outside?
There are many things we can do indoors to keep your fitness
level at “active”. Jumping rope is a
great indoor activity that keeps the heart
pumping and burns some calories. Put on some fun music and jump along to the
beat.  |

Push-ups require no outdoor activity and are great for
building upper body and core strength. Start laying face down with hands
shoulder width apart and parallel to your chest and your legs straight with
your toes curled under. Push up with your body
as flat as you can. Don't bend
at your waist. If your butt is sticking up you’re not doing it right. Do as
many as you can until your arms won’t lift you. Do this every day and try to
beat your number every time. Before you know it you’ll be able to do 20 in a
row and your arms, back and core will be stronger.
For fun and exercise, turn on your favorite music and dance!
It burns calories, relieves stress and is just plan fun!
So stay in, stay warm and stay active!
