During the long winter months, the thought of getting up and out into the elements can be extremely daunting not to mention unappealing. The fact is however, that getting exercise during the generally darker winter months can be important for a number of reasons. Not only is it essential in maintaining our physical health and not losing any of the gains we’ve made through the summer, sticking to an exercise program in the winter can also help ward off the winter ‘blues’ which in extreme cases can even lead to seasonal depression known as SAD. |
