I used to take hour long walks in the evenings until winter rolled around. Now I need a new alternative.

That's my problem. Most of my exercise involved either walking, jogging, or landscaping. Winter has halted all of that.

two words: Snow shoes. If you live near woods that you hike through in the summer, get some snow shoes and have at it. Dress light because you will sweat like crazy. The problem is that they are not cheap, so you may want to rent them before you decide whether you like it.

I somehow find myself being more active in the winter. Last week I walked out on the lake to go fishing (ice is not thick enough to drive on) and my legs still hurt. It was literally a 25 min walk because it was warm that day and it was glare ice.

I live by between two college campuses and I see just as many joggers in the winter when the sidewalk is dry, or the snow is crunchy enough to run on without slipping. And shoveling instead of snow blowing is always a work out.
