Ways to stay in shape during the cold weather season


Individuals tend to avoid going outside and frequently miss the gym when there’s a chill in the air. But don’t let cold weather outplay your wish to stay in shape this winter. Instead, arm yourself with some strategies. While everybody is scrambling to stick to their New Year’s resolutions, you’ll be coasting along, questioning why everybody is emphasizing about warmer weather and shorts season.

Here are some simple health strategies by Excel Dental Studio to get you through the winter months: 

·        Walking and Stair Climbing: If you need a low-impact workout but don't want to go for a treadmill, look for other resources like shopping malls or tall buildings. Many shopping malls open early and let walkers in. If you reside in a building with lots of stairs, consider climbing stairs for 20 minutes or more instead of taking a lift. This strenuous exercise will pump up your cardiovascular capability and give you strong legs without affecting your joints.

·        Trampolines and Jumping Rope: Most of us have loving memories of jumping rope as a child, and it's still a fun, cheap method to burn calories while increasing your agility, steadiness, and strength. Jumping on the trampoline also burns calories and will make you feel like a child again. These practices have a greater impact on your joints, so consider your knee and ankle strength before beginning with a jumping routine.  

·        Dance Classes: Whether it's jazz, hip-hop or ballroom dancing, you will burn calories, strengthen your sense of balance and learn a skill that you can use at your next get-together. Ask your local dance studio for its group class program to get your score on. 

·         Indoor Athletic Leagues: If you are already active and in abstemiously good shape then hunt for tennis, volleyball, or basketball leagues in your area. Sporting leagues keep you in shape and wake up your approachable, competitive spirit. There's typically a small fee to cover the costs.

·        Workout DVDs: Following a workout DVD is another method to exercise while stuck inside due to a cold climate. There are several DVDs to select from body shaping for your legs, hips, and abs, to yoga and for your balance and flexibility. Choose from several DVDs and rotate them to prevent monotony. 

These are some of the options you have, so choose one and enjoy this season! Our Merrillville Dentist wish you excellent winter months!!
