( ittle before and during winter even tho...)Being Active In Winter Despite That Inner Urge,Health

ittle before and during winter even though it's no longer necessary because of the way homes are heated in the 21st century in the Western world.

There's no sin in nourishing oneself with all types of foods, Froboese said. The trick is to reach a stable weight and stay there. A diet heavy in fat and little activity is the worst combination.

The extra calories in the fat, however, can be offset by daily activities like climbing stairs or getting off the bus one station early, the sports professor said. He advises people to have something up their sleeve to increase their level of activity as alternatives to jogging or cycling.

"In the midst of winter people find thousands of excuses not to exercise, such as it's too dark or wet out," Froboese said. People should consider signing up for a course in a nearby gym or arranging appointments with a home fitness trainer.

Buchner also knows how difficult it is for some people to get out and exercise. Once they are home, the gym suddenly is kilometres away, even thought it is just around the corner.

To overcome this problem, Lippke recommends people ask a neighbour about going together.

"First, it's easy to set a time and date, and second, both parties have the same route to the gym, which should be close in any case," she said.

Froboese also recommends people take a walk outside for 20 or 30 minutes during their lunch break. This short period of movement activates the body and soul, providing motivation to exercise later in the day.
