Outdoor exercise during cold weather


When the weather cooperates, outside exercise gives you fresh air and a change of scenery.  This past Saturday was a chilly but sunny Saturday and we cleaned out our flower beds and/or garden.  Health experts recognize that gardening with the bending, stooping, chopping and snipping gives a person exercise. 
Your daily trip to the mailbox can be expanded to a trip around the block.  Dress appropriately for the weather and enjoy the autumn color as you walk.
We like to walk our neighborhood.  Many people walk their dogs and enjoy the crisp weather of a cool winter day.   More suggestions on exercising during cold weather tomorrow.
