]]> Getting to the gym in the dead of the winter can be really hard—your motivation is probably dwindling, warm-ups take longer as your bones are cold, and the idea of showering after leaves you shivering. But now it’s all about the snow and finding ways to keep warm. It’s still important to have fun. Of course, winter means skiing, but there are other activities you can do in the cold or snow to keep you strong and fit.

Ice Skating

This is no longer a kid’s activity, it is a great glute and core workout and gets your heart rate up quickly, keeping you warm on the ice. All you need is an ice rink near you, some rented ice skates and off you go. Find someone to teach you some tricks.

Snowboarding

Snowboarding is the best winter sport for your legs and abs, you can burn up to 500 calories an hour on the snow. Your obliques will be on fire every time you shift positions.

Running

Just because it is cold and snowy does not mean you have to give up on your outdoor runs. The sportswear giants have amazing clothes to keep you warm when you are running outside. Think of long-sleeved thermal wear, insulated jackets, and warm leggings. There are even running shoes with spikes to help you to run in the snowy terrain.

]]> Once the weather gets colder, many people switch their outside runs to the treadmill or lose motivation to work out all together, especially when it’s snowing or icy outside. But cold and snowy weather doesn’t mean that you can’t still run outside. While running in the snow has its own set of obstacles, it doesn’t mean it can’t be done. Here’s how to safely run in the snow.

Make Sure Your Shoes Have Tread

While running in the snow, you’re at a greater risk for slipping than on dry surfaces. Before heading out for a run, check the tread on your shoes and make sure they’re not worn out.

Wear Warm Clothes

Wear wool socks, a scarf, hat, and gloves to keep the heat contained within your body. You don’t want to overdo it by wearing too many layers because as you run, your body will warm up and you’ll sweat which will make your clothes wet, and that can put you at risk for hypothermia.

Have a Longer Warm-Up

In the cold, your muscles will take longer to warm up, so make extra time for your warm-up.

Be Mindful of Ice

Try and stay on high terrain and avoid low spots where water tends to pool and can turn into ice.

Warm-Up When You’re Done

After you’re finished running, you need to warm your body up as soon as possible. Change out of your running gear and sip on a hot beverage to warm up.
