STAYING ACTIVE IN THE WINTRY WYOMING MONTHS
Just because it is winter, it doesn’t mean you have to stay indoors! The staff here at Avenues PhysicalTherapy Clinic likes to get out in the elements from time to time. Eric picks his days, but he continues to commute to work on his bike throughout the winter. Linda gets out and throws some powder by downhillskiing.Tawnadoessomesnowshoeingandevenenteredasnowshoe race once. Kelsey and his family have gone on the First Day Hike for the last three years on New Year’s Day, out at Curt Gowdy State Park. Donna spends her time with her family exploring new places, such as the Water Gardens in Fort Worth, Texas. Teresa spends her time with family and the grandkids. It is easy to want to stay in, nestled up in blankets, while it’s snowy and cold. However, remaining active in the winter months is just as important as remaining active during any other season! The winter presents several fun activities that can double as workouts. Taking advantage of nearby ski slopes or ice skating rinks can give you a fun outing that’ll get you out of the house and also get you moving. Even getting outside to go sledding or build a snowman with your kids can give you the amount of daily exercise you need. If the weather is too blusterey for you, you can also stay active by taking the stairs, participating in fitness classes, or doing at-home exercises. Just remember to stretch and warm up appropriately beforehand, in order to avoid injury! Exercising in colder weather poses a higher risk of injury, such as strains, sprains, and tears.That’s why it is important to wear warm clothes to protect your skin and extremities, in addition to warming up thoroughly before a
workout. No matter what winter activity or exercise you’re partaking in, warm-ups should always include a combination of low-intensity movements that will make the physical activity easier to perform. For example, if you decide to go on a run or walk, you could warm up with lunges, squats, arm swings, or jumping jacks, making sure to also get a good stretch in your calves and thighs.
