❄️🏔️ Winter Isn’t Over — Keep Moving! 🏔️❄️
While winter is still in full swing, it’s a great time to lean into activities that keep you strong, energized, and feeling your best. Here are some exercises that are perfect for this time of year — plus why your body will thank you:
🚶♂️ Walking (especially in cold weather)
Brisk walking in cooler temps can help burn slightly more calories as your body works to regulate temperature, while also improving circulation and boosting mood during shorter winter days.
🥾 Hiking
Winter hiking builds leg strength and balance, especially on uneven terrain, and spending time outdoors has been shown to reduce stress and support mental clarity.
🧗 Indoor Rock Climbing
A full-body workout that builds grip strength, core stability, and coordination — while also challenging your focus and problem-solving skills.
⛷️ Skiing or Snowboarding (if you can travel!)
Great for leg strength, balance, and cardiovascular endurance. These sports activate stabilizing muscles that don’t always get used in daily movement.
🩰 Pilates or Barre
Low-impact but highly effective for strengthening deep core muscles, improving posture, and supporting spinal stability — especially helpful when winter stiffness sets in.
🧘 Yoga
Improves flexibility, reduces stress, and supports joint mobility. Winter can leave us tight and tense, and yoga helps counteract that stiffness while promoting recovery.
No matter the season, consistent movement supports spinal health, joint function, and overall wellness. Stay active, stay warm, and keep your body moving!
