Whether you are commuting to a new job, heading to a training session, or just enjoying the season, here are 4 quick tips to help you thrive this winter:
🥶 Layer Up for Success: The best way to beat the Ohio chill is with layers. If you use a wheelchair, consider a "pelvic wrap" or extra blanket for your lap to keep warm while moving.
🚗 Prep Your Commute: Keep an emergency kit in your vehicle with a flashlight, blanket, and non-perishable snacks. Pro tip: A bag of kitty litter can provide great traction if you get stuck on ice!
🐧 Walk Like a Penguin: When walkways are slick, take short, flat-footed steps and keep your center of gravity over your front leg. It feels silly, but it keeps you safe!
💧 Hydrate & recharge: We often forget to drink water when it’s cold, but hydration is key for immunity. Also, try to catch some sunlight when you can to boost that Vitamin D!
Stay safe, stay warm, and let’s make this a productive season! 🧣🧤
