Exercising During The Winter

This week I wanted to talk to you about ways to exercise in the winter. We all gain those couple of extra pesky pounds and often we don’t want to go out and do anything about it because it’s so cold. Trust me, I am right there with you. There are a few things that you can do that don’t really feel like exercise, though, that can be really fun to do around the holidays. Here are a few of them.
1. Take A Walk. One of the best things about this time of the year is all of the decorations that different homes and businesses have up. Even if you don’t want to walk around outside, you can go to a local mall or similar indoor area and check out what they have up. I normally like to walk around the malls just because there are so many kids all dressed up to meet Santa and they’re so cute. It is also a great way to find that perfect gift for that hard to buy for person on your list!
2. Dance With Family. Having your family and friends over for the holidays can be stressful, so why not put on some music and dance? If you aren’t good at freestyling, you may want to get a couple of video games that allow you to dance along with them and make a friendly competition out of it!
3. Go Out To Shop. Now that shopping can be done online, I hardly seem to get out of my house some days. During the holidays, however, I force myself to get out of the house and walk around instead of clicking away on my computer to find the perfect gift. While some things do require the internet due to the lack of stock near you, it is always better to go out and get the things you can. After all, it saves on those pesky shipping and handling charges!
Exercising during the winter is something that none of us really want to do but is also one of those really important things. While you’re out, come on by Wirth Chiropractic in Greenville, NC and see how much better you’ll feel after an appointment with us!
