Don’t just sit by the fireplace until spring rolls around; these active ideas will help keep you moving and feeling your best:

- Stay Hydrated – Staying hydrated in the winter, is just as important.
- Utilize Indoor Places – Walking around in an indoor location like the mall is a great place to start your walking routines.
- Sign Up For Activities – Most schools and local community centers provide extremely discounted workout classes like yoga, tai chi, etc.
