So, you’ve finally committed to a regular exercise routine and you love it. You’re losing weight, you have more energy, and you look forward to being outdoors. Only these days, as we get closer to winter’s official start, the weather is not as agreeable as it was. But if you still want to commune with nature while you get your dose of endorphins, consider these smart ways to get physical in less-than-optimal weather.
1. See your doctor
Be sure to check with your physician before exercising in cold weather if you have any heart problems, suffer from asthma, or have any medical conditions that could prevent you from activity. Your doctor will alert you to any precautions you should take based on your health or prescribed medication, MayoClinic.com says.
