When winter hits, like it just did in Montana, my hubby drives a plow truck. If winter happens to hit in full force over a holiday weekend, my girls are not in school and my workout schedule changes.
Here are a few thoughts on getting plenty of exercise around your home, with your kids and everyone having a great time.
Find a big sled and haul your kids around. I just returned from pulling my girls down the road to get the mail. They laughed the whole time and I was shedding layers after the first uphill stretch. Drag em through the deep snow and give your hamstrings and glutes a workout!
Chop & stack some wood. Use your core muscles, your arms and shoulders will feel just as much as they would from a trip to the gym.
Shovel, shovel, shovel! Think about your core and posture and clear off your sidewalks, decks and pathways. Great exercise for your whole body!
Put on your boots and trudge through the snow. Walking around in the snow is an amazing workout for your legs, heart and lungs!
It feels great to sit down after spending a day outside! Remember to drink lots of water! It is really easy to get dehydrated in the colder months when we are not so focused on staying hydrated in the heat. No matter the temperature our bodies always need plenty of water!
Enjoy these beautiful winter days and play hard! It is really fun!
