Baby it's cold outside!

Wow, I don't know about all of you, but I feel like I have moved to the North Pole! It is so cold outside... so much for my run, I can hardly walk from my car to work without turning blue. So, time to get creative with my cardio, and with motivating myself to get out there. First things first - dress in layers that I can peel off as I warm-up, for me that includes 3 layers: a sweater, long sleeved shirt, an a tank top (or two). Second - embrace the elliptical and the treadmill. I know, sometimes boring... I keep myself occupied by reading on the elliptical or listening to Christmas music while I run on the treadmill. Not as pretty as being outside - but it works. Third - remember that physical activity = increased body temp = being warm!! I hope you find a creative way to stay active (and warm). How about shopping, gift wrapping, cleaning house, decorating, every little bit counts! Cheers to another cup of hot chocolate!
