Build a Snowman
Grab your family and head outdoors to build a snowman. Snowman building is not just for kids but people of all ages. To make the most of this workout, roll a large circle to make a bigger snowball and when you lift and stack this, use your core. One year the snowman was so large, I had trouble lifting it. And the next day I was sore as if I had a weight lifting session!
So enjoy the great outdoors as you exercise in the winter wonderland around you. And make new routines to challenge yourself in the cold and get your fit on! Wishing you a wonderful winter with great workouts!
