If you haven’t been active and exercising, talk with your doctor/health care provider before beginning an exercise routine. Here’s a few final suggestions for adding exercise to your winter routine:
- Recognize that small time frames of exercise (even 10 minutes three times a day) can add movement to your day.
- Instead of sitting for your 30 minute lunch break, use 10 minutes of it for a walk around work.
- If you park at the back of the parking lot and walk to work (or stores while shopping), you are adding exercise to your day.
- Find a support group/friend who will encourage and cheer you in your exercise efforts.
Remember to keep yourself hydrated while you are exercising. If you are a person who is on fluid restrictions due to heart or kidney problems, follow your doctor’s recommendations. Most people will benefit from drinking more water to replace what we lose when we exercise. If readers have suggestions on how to add exercise to your winter days, please share them with us.
