3 Winter Exercises To Try

Ida S. — Fri, 20 Nov 2015 16:07:45 +0000

It’s kind of difficult to do the exercises you do during the summer in the winter, because there’s ice almost everywhere and it’s too cold and too much of a hassle to do certain exercises. There are exercises you can do in the winter though, you’ll still lose the weight you want to get rid of and have fun at the same time.

Ice skating.

When ice skating, you use a lot of stabilizer muscles that you do not use in your day to day workout activities, like the muscles around your hips, ankles and knees. You can burn about 350 calories per hour when you ice skate at an average speed, around 630 calories if you are going fast but then going fast can result in injuries to your wrist, head or back if you fall. Overall it tones the muscles in your legs, butt and core.

Cross country skiing.

If you are looking for a high caliber workout to burn a lot of calories, cross country skiing is it. If you are new to flat-land skiing, there are skiing resorts that offer lessons to beginners. Just make sure you are geared up to the fullest and go enjoy that cross country ski while burning those calories.

Walking.

Walking is always good, no matter what season it is. Walking in the winter is much harder though, considering you have to plough through layers of ice so you’ll burn more calories. But make sure to wear as much clothing as you can when you go out for a walk in the cold and wear thick booths as well for your feet.
Make sure to wear thick clothes at all times if you are going outdoors to exercise during winter and take all the necessary precautionary measures, it can be dangerous!

It also improves balance and muscle coordination. At a moderate pace, ice skating can burn up to 500 calories in just an hour.

Boxing:

An exercise for any day or season, like winter. Within just two rounds or five minutes of dodging, docking, moving, and keeping your hands high in the gym, you would have worked out your entire body and toned up your muscles.

If you particularly want to tone muscles and not build, boxing is ideal for you. This is because it combines cardio with muscle building essentially. You don’t have to be Oscar De La Hoya to box, focus on your movement and technique and you’ll be good.

Yoga:

Tricks to Beat Winter Weight Gain

Ida S. — Mon, 09 Nov 2015 18:02:56 +0000

It is very easy to gain weight during winter, we have a calender full of holidays and parties where we eat a lot of unhealthy food and because of the cold we tend to take in a large amount of alcohol. It’s not just the food and drinks, the cold and bleak weather can can put a damper on your energy and interfere with your workout routine. Here’s some tricks you can use to make sure that you don’t gain that unwanted weight during the winter.

Avoid too much screen time.

You want to stay in the entire day, cuddled up on the sofa and binge-watching your favorite TV shows? Sure, you can do that, but make sure that that’s not all that you do. You can sweat off a few pounds without actually having to go out or interrupting your movie marathon. Try to do some simple exercising during commercials or in between episodes. Sitting on the couch all day while mindlessly stuffing your face with snacks is not going to help you lose weight, so cut down on your screen time.

Move more.

Limiting yourself to your bed and the sofa in the living room for the most part of the winter is not a good idea. Try exploring the other parts of the house, like going up the stairs if you have one or making trips to the kitchen. But that doesn’t mean that you should confine yourself to your house alone. Go out, go to parties and dance, you’ll have fun and you’ll be burning fat too.

Indulge your cravings.

Avoiding your cravings will only make them stronger, and we tend to have really unhealthy cravings during winter, so when you finally break under the pressure it will eating a bigger amount than you intended in the first place. The wise thing to do is indulge your cravings when you have them, but in small healthy portions. You do not want to be eating unhealthy amounts of chocolate cake when your exercising is limited.

Get enough sleep.

Get at least eight hours of sleep everyday, it shouldn’t be hard because the body tends to get tired real quick when it’s cold. Don’t stay up too late and deprive yourself of much needed sleep, if you lack sleep you tend to make up for it by overeating since the part of our brain that is supposed to help us remember to not overeat does not function due to lack of sleep. Make sure you get enough sleep.

Include veggies in your meals.

Just because you are bundled up like a human burrito during winter doesn’t mean you lack all the freshness in life. Fresh vegetables are full of vitamins and are really good for our health, add a bit of vegetables into your meals. It doesn’t make your meals dull, if anything it adds color to it. Incorporate as much veggies as you can into your meals for a colorful and healthy winter!

6 Steps to Winter Training at Home

David Abraham — Wed, 04 Nov 2015 18:09:48 +0000

As winter approaches, you’re probably not going to be able to go for a run as much or even get outside to play some sport and this could have a significant effect on your fitness levels. This is the one time of the year when, for most people, it becomes extraordinarily hard to get fit and actually maintain fitness levels, and to make matters worse, this is also the time of the year when most people eat a bit more than they should. So, to help you through winter wihtout packing on some extra pounds, here are 6 tips that are sure to work.

Get a treadmill

If you have enough space and can afford a treadmill, then you should definitely consider getting one in your home. With a treadmill at home, you can easily keep up your aerobic endurance by running as much as you would like to.

Circuit training

Circuit training is one very smart way to improve or maintain cardiovascular fitness without the need to step outside your home. In circuit training, you perform a series of exercises that target different, major limbs in the body consecutively and without rest in between individual sets(you may rest in between cycles).

One of the really great things about circuit training is that traditional strength training exercises such as push-ups and squats can be turned into a cardio workout by including them in a circuit training routine.

Tabata Training

Tabata training is a high-intensity training technique that is gaining increasing popularity in the fitness world. Tabata training protocol, involves training with the use of a precise 20-second intense workout-10 second rest pattern, over a period of 4 minutes. The result of this unusual training pattern is remarkably high endurance and explosive power gains that significantly outstrip those of other cardio training techniques.

Shadow Boxing

If you have any interest in boxing, this might be a good idea for a winter workout. Shadow boxing—literally punching the air, when done with any intensity, gives a good cardio workout, and works your arms and core as well. Just 15 minutes of shadow boxing is sure to leave you exhausted and panting for breath.

Burpees

Burpees are pretty much the total body workout and you can do them at home, school, work or anywhere you find yourself with a few yeards of space. To do a burpee, you stand with your feet shoulder width apart, squat down, then do a push-up, jump up to your feet and then do a jumping jack. Sounds intense? That’s because it is.

Conclusion

There aren’t so many things that you could realistically do to lose weight and maintain your fitness gains during the winter, but these five winter workout tips are perfect ways to stave of any unwanted fat and keep your fitness levels up.
