HOW TO GET MOVING THIS WINTER: 3 MOVES YOU CAN DO AT HOME WITH YOUR STROLLER

Shelly Hopper

Getting outside in the winter months is especially important for the mind and body. The air is fresh and crisp, so simply getting out into nature provides a nice break from spending more time indoors due to changing weather and temps. Also, when there is less sunshine in the sky, and, therefore, less natural vitamin D getting absorbed into our system, moving our bodies, even in a gentle walk around the neighborhood, can be a great mood booster (and after this year, we all need more of that).

Here are some ideas to get moving outside this winter (with your family or solo)...

  • Layer up and take a walk around the block or a local park!
  • Hit the slopes - take the family skiing, snowboarding, or sledding.
  • Go ice skating at a local outdoor rink.
  • Try snowshoeing or cross-country skiing.
  • Go on a family nature scavenger hunt in your neighborhood and/or backyard.
  • Wear bright colors, lace-up, and go for a run.
  • Build a snowman and/or have a snowball fight.
  • Workout whenever, wherever with FIT4MOM On Demand. Get a free week on us!
  • Grab your BOB Gear® stroller (want one from Santa?? See our top-pick for a jogging stroller in our Gift Guide) and your kiddos, and do a quick stroller workout like this one below!
