Most people complain that it’s hard to stay active during cold winter months, but have you ever considered how physically demanding some of the casual outdoor activities actually are? We’re here to help you change the way you look at them, so, grab your winter coat and get out!
Snowball Fights
We all adored snowball fights when we were kids, but have you ever considered participating in one these days. Maybe you should, because they involve a lot of running and can burn up to 500 calories per hour, plus you’ll probably be laughing the whole time.
Shoveling Snow
This activity isn’t near as entertaining as snowball fights, and most of us avoid it all costs. The good thing is that you can pretty much skip the gym after doing it, since you can burn around 200 calories in 30 minutes and you’ll get a full-body workout.
Sledding
Sledding is also one of those wintertime activities that are actually much more physically demanding than you remember. In order to experience that moment of euphoria that comes with sledding down a hill, you actually have to climb that hill and do it over and over again.
