Staying active in winter
Embrace the season and keep moving with these tips:
1) Enjoy yourself. If you aren’t enjoying it, time to look for a different activity.
2) Bad days. Feeling sluggish? Skip a day. Move more when you feel great.
3) Dress for the weather. Bundle up and put cleats on boots.
4) Walk laps. Stroll around the house, at the mall, church, etc.
5) If you have a flare-up. Work around it and move all your good parts. Don’t let the rest of your body get laid up too!
