A workout partner can help to hold you accountable. Something else that will? An exercise app. No matter what kind of workout routine you like to do, there’s an app

available that will remind you of your schedule, help you to keep up with the amount of calories that you’ve burned and can provide analytics on the benefits of what

you’re doing. Click here for a list of some of the best exercise apps that are currently available.

If you like to power walk or run outside, keep yourself warm a little longer by doing your warm-ups inside. Turn on a music channel or catch up on a

show that you missed while you’re stretching out your limbs. Looking for some new warm-up tips? Click here.

This might be the perfect time to try something new (indoors, of course)! Since the winter season is when a lot of us reevaluate our lives and what we want

to change, there’s nothing wrong with switching up your exercise routine and trying something else; something you’ve never done before. What are the first three things that come to mind?

Just because you can layer your clothing, don’t use this as a time to binge on fattening foods and desserts. Instead, look at winter as a time to “go in

hiding” as you work to get your body more toned and fit than ever! Drink more water. Exercise no less than 30-45 minutes three times a week. Think about how

much weight you want to lose by spring and set goals for each month. Put up a picture of a swimsuit or dress that you want to get into once

the weather warms up. See this season as a golden opportunity to have the body you’ve always dreamed of!

Believe it or not, there is a science behind cuffing season. For instance, estrogen and testosterone are at an all-time high during the winter season. Use this as

a reason to become more intimate! Sex is one of the most calorie-burning exercises there is! Sex is also good for your heart, lowers your blood pressure, releases stress, pumps up

your endorphins (your “feel good chemicals”), makes sleep easier and boosts your immune system. On the days when you want to skip out on working out, can there be a

better exercise alternative? Uh-uh.

How about a winter vacation, even if it’s just for a long weekend? If it’s with the family or just the girls, a ski trip can be a ton of

fun! If it’s with your sweetheart, it can be off-the-charts romantic. And yes, skiing also comes with a lot of health benefits. It strengthens bones and joints, helps you to

burn weight, builds up your cardiovascular system, improves your core strength and flexibility, and it also makes for a great night’s rest. If you’ve never been skiing before and you
