Don't let the weather get you down!

Being from Newfoundland I know what the weather can do to people this time of year. It's dark, cold, raining one day and snowing the next, and it makes you feel like hiding away and doing nothing until the end of March (June in Newfoundland!). I think it's time we all stopped focusing on the negative side of bad weather and used it to our advantage! Why not use these dreary winter months to get ready for the heat of the summer! Use that time that you're stuck inside productively...hop on your treadmill, pick up your dumbbells, get into a gym. Now is the time to start getting ready for the season when everybody wears less clothes! You know what?...The weather here in southern Ontario isn't even that bad! There are plenty of days when you can still get outside and be active. For example, there are plenty of outdoor skating rinks where you can get hours of free exercise, and most of the walking/running trails around town are still in great condition. Three days ago I even went mountain biking on the same trails I would bike in the summer! When we have 600cm+ of snow here in southern Ontario (actually happens in Newfoundland) we can use the weather as an excuse, but until then I say get out there and get in gear for the summer! Good luck!
