8 Ways to Keep Fit Outside the Gym this Winter
Here are some low-cost ideas to keep fit outside the gym this season from Active.com
STAIRS: Running or walking up and down the stairs in your house or apartment building (or office) can be a great high intensity cardio and leg workout.
ICE SKATING: This is a great aerobic and social workout.
INDOOR SPORTS: Join a team or individual sports program. Competition levels can range from recreational to expert.
MALL WALKING: When walking outdoors is not an option, do laps inside your local shopping mall. For the average person, a brisk one-hour walk can burn 300 to 400 calories.
HOME WORKOUTS: A workout DVD or even a quick YouTube search to find indoor aerobic routines can pay off when you have limited space.
DANCING: For even more fun and less structure, turn up the volume on some of your favorite songs and dance.
ACTIVE TV VIEWING: Don’t want to miss your favorite TV show? Try jogging or skipping on the spot while you watch.
SNOW SPRINTS: Head out to an open, snow-covered field with some water-resistant trainers or hiking shoes and an appropriate number of layers.
