What better way to get rid of extra pounds than to walk them away. The problem this time of year is that as the weather gets colder, the less motivation we have to get out and exercise. Walking at minus 40 degrees can be a bit much, but in the cool fall temperatures, it is the perfect time to start tempering yourself for the snow ahead.
1) Keep drinking water, you don't sweat as much in the cold, but your body needs the water anyway! DRINK IT!
2) Dress in light layers, you can always take a layer off when the sun is shining and put it back on when the sun goes into hiding again.
3) Wear a light hat to keep body heat in.
4) If you are walking at night, make sure you have something reflective on.
5) If you find the cold air hurts your lungs, wear a light scarf across your mouth until you become accustomed to it.
Start easy and work up to 5 times a week for 40 minutes for optimum results. Anything is progress, always remember that. YOU CAN DO IT!
