Jan 16

Who said winter hibernation meant sleep all day? No matter what your New Year’s resolutions are, moving your body for a few minutes a day can keep that cabin fever at bay. These are our favorite ways to move indoors

1. Compact Indoor Walking Pads

Indoor walking pads are a fantastic way to keep up your steps when it’s too cold to go outside and the idea of driving through the winter weather to get to the gym is too much. These slim, space-saving devices can be used while you're working at your desk or enjoying your favorite TV show. Integrating daily exercise into your busy schedule has never been easier! Ideal for those days when the weather won’t cooperate, walking pads are a quiet, convenient way to maintain your fitness; and catch up on all of your favorite shows.

2. Follow a Fitness YouTube Channel

Transform your living room into a personal gym by following fitness YouTube channels. FitnessBlender or POPSUGAR Fitness (now known as PS) offers a wide range of workouts from yoga and Pilates to high-intensity interval training (HIIT). These workouts require minimal equipment and can be tailored to any fitness level, making them perfect for winter exercise at home. And the best part? You can do all of these workouts from the privacy of your own home.

3. Dance Parties at Home

Why not make exercise an absolute blast with home dance parties? Programs like The Fitness Marshall on YouTube provide high-energy, fun dance routines that not only burn calories but also lift spirits. And who doesn’t need that during those gloomy months? Invite friends over for a group session or enjoy a solo dance party to shake off the winter blues.

4. Indoor Rock Climbing

For something truly different, consider indoor rock climbing. Many cities have rock climbing gyms that offer a fun, challenging workout that tests different muscle groups and boosts your adrenaline. Rock climbing is not only great for physical health but also for mental health, providing a sense of achievement and focus.

5. Virtual Fitness Classes

Many gyms and fitness studios offer virtual classes that you can join from the comfort of your home. From spinning to barre, these classes provide structured workouts along with the community feel of a fitness class, keeping you accountable and connected to others.

Keep it Movin’

Staying active during the winter doesn’t have to be a chore. With innovative tools like indoor walking pads, engaging online fitness programs, and fun, unconventional activities like indoor rock climbing and home dance parties, you can enjoy a variety of workouts that keep you moving and motivated. Explore these options to keep your winter workouts fresh and exciting, all while staying warm and cozy indoors.
