Winter Wonderland Walking

If the weather outside is frightful, and you're thinking of staying in instead of working out, consider this motivational advice from site visitor, Donna:

"I walk everyday, no matter the temp. I dress warm, put on hiking boots, a jacket on my dog and off we go, to nordic walk or just walk through the snow. I walk in temps as low as -20C from 20 to 45 mins. At 68 years of age, I find it is the best and least expensive way to get exercise."

Way to go, Donna! You've inspired me to dust the frost off my walking shoes and put one foot in front of the other despite the chill!
