Winter brings one very common complaint... It's hard to exercise when it's cold outside.

The problem with living in the north is that the cold weather lasts a long time. A very long time...

The excuse, "I'll exercise more when the weather gets better" is not the answer.

This winter I challenge you to make a Winter Weather Workout Bucket List.

Stuck on what to do? Here is mine:

*Go ice skating

*Snowshoe a local trail

*Take a winter hike with the dog

*Cross country skiing on a new trail

*Downhill skiing with friends

*Attempt snowboarding

*Sledding with my son

*Build a snow fort with the family

*Have a snowball fight

*Shovel snow, and then shovel it some more...

*Try ice fishing

*Build a winter obstacle course in the front yard

*Take a new group workout class

*Make tracks running through fresh snow
