I'm brainstorming things my fiancee and I can do this winter to help us stay in shape. We are usually much, much more active in the warm months because we love the outdoors (hiking, backpacking, running, biking, etc.) but I'm determined to keep up the activities this winter before our May wedding. Important points to consider include: 1) I hate (really, really hate) gyms. 2) We live in New England (long, cold, snowy winters). 3) My fiancee does not ski.
Re: What's your favorite winter outdoor activity?
We'll continue running all winter long, but it's tough because we usually have to take a hiatus around big snow storms before the paths and sidewalks are cleared again. I'm thinking of getting some running spikes for my shoes, which will help when the paths are partially cleared. However, running alone really isn't enough for me - I want something I can do on weekends that will keep me active all day long. This has really been the only way I've been able to keep feeling great and keep the weight off.
Have fun!
