Winter Sucks
Winter does suck, but it really depends on what part of the country you live in. If, for example, you live in Lake Tahoe and love to ski, then, you probably look forward to winter. Or, if you live in Florida, you probably love the winter months there.
I grew up in Illinois. The midwest experiences prolonged periods of a blanket of gray clouds combined with cold temperatures and no leaves on the trees. I hated every winter when I lived there.
What happens in colder climates is that you probably spend more time inside....and less time exercising. The key is to find something you can do indoors that is fun and active.
For example, you could join a gym. Look for one that offers a month-to-month membership. You could join a tennis club. You could join the "Y" and go swimming. Most shopping malls allow people inside before stores open so they can do their walking indoors. Or, you could buy some exercise DVDs and work-out in your living room. There are lots of possibilities. You might want to start by reading our review: "Exercise Motivation."
