Latest news, updates & reminders

• Staying Active This Winter!

We all know how easy it is to stay indoors during the winter months but there are health benefits to getting outside! Such as; the cold weather can increase your resting metabolism, it can help cure the winter blues, help your body produce vitamin D, & cause your body to burn fat.  Just remember to STAY SAFE and dress appropriately for the weather. When it’s TOO cold-don’t risk it, stay inside!

Here are 18 fun outdoor activities to try this winter!

• Go ice skating.
• Build a winter bonfire and make s’mores.
• Rent some snowshoes and go snowshoeing.
• If you have the equipment, go winter camping. If that’s too ambitious, check out your state parks for cabin or yurt rentals. Once you’re there, go on beautiful winter hikes.
• Take your dog for a walk.
• Go cross-country skiing.
• Attend a dog-sled race. You don’t have to live in Alaska to see one of these – check your state’s Department of Natural Resources page, they usually have a list of upcoming events
• Go sledding.
• Build a fort and have a snowball fight with your kids (or your spouse/partner). Or buy a snow block maker & build an igloo.
