Stay fit this weekend by signing up for a 5k race. Yes it’s winter out and snowing, but that makes it more fun! To sweeten the pot, find a fun race that offers something fun for signing up like a Tech Shirt. I’ve run in races that actually serve beer when you finish. Could you ask for a better reward at the end of a race? Running in the snow or in the cold may seem like it’s harder but it actually has its benefits.
You burn more fat while running in the winter. Your heart has to work harder to warm your body up, which means it’ll kick up your metabolism and burn more calories.
You’ll get a better workout for your legs. It’s hard to keep yourself going while running on an icy patch or in the snow, so your legs have to work harder and use all the little stabilizing muscles to keep you going. You can bet on your legs being extra sore the day after!
If you’re still wondering whether or not you should venture out and run this weekend, just think “If Rocky Balboa does it, I should do it!” Have fun, be safe, and until tomorrow spend Everyday Living Fit!
