Out of the box, ideas to keep you active in winter!!
Winters are known to make people lazy. The reason behind it can be attributed to the fact that the cold weather makes us yearn for the warm couch or the blanket. The low temperature, dark skies, and snow all around seem to have a hypnotizing effect on us and we become a lazy bear during the winter months. However, such inactive behavior is not good for our health and it is neither good for our life in general. We tend to stall our work, get fat and unfit due to all the eating and no working, and become really inefficient during the winter months which must be avoided.
So, there is a need to change our attitude towards winters and embrace it in a healthy and active way. Here are some interesting tips that will help you pull your ass off the couch and get up and going in the cold weather:
