Winter time is so tempting for me to hibernate along with the bears. It is also a time where weight gain can show up. Thinking about all the extra work I will have to do in the spring to get ready for bikini season makes me a little more motivated to keep and stay active in the winter.
Get Jiggy with It
I was brainstorming ideas for different activities to stay active in the winter besides the usual skiing, snowshoeing and ice skating. I thought, why not go old school and try these activities with your family, friends or by yourself?
- Hula hoop: have competitions on who can do the most with all the bulky clothes on!
- Snow Baller: Pack and throw snowballs to a target or see who can throw their snowball the farthest.
- Pin the Smile on the Snowman: Transfer this favorite classic game outside.
- Footprint Hide n’ Seek: Trick others where you are hiding with different footprint trails!
- Make an Outside Maze: Shovel or stomp the snow out into a maze for extra toning. Make it more challenging and play at night by using glow sticks lining the maze.
Here are more classic ways to get activity in the winter.
