Stay Active Outdoors Even in the Cold

When the worst of #winter sets in, you may feel like pulling up the blankets and sleeping late. But “there’s no reason to take a break from physical activity when the temperature drops,” the American Heart Association says. The winter chill actually might feel invigorating, and you may be able to exercise longer in the cold weather. Plus, outdoor activity can help get some sun and vitamin D, which can offset seasonal gloom while boosting natural immunity. Whether you choose to walk, run, snowshoe or ski, staying warm and dry outdoors is the key; use multiple layers to maintain body heat and comfort even in cold and ice. #StayingActive
