Move Well

If you are looking forward to a warming roast dinner on a cold Sunday evening, then there may be nothing better to work up an appetite than an enjoyable afternoon winter walk. Whether you take your dogs for some exercise around a local park or get into the car and venture a little further afield to a reservoir or nature reserve, a brisk walk in the fresh air will do you the world of good.

Furthermore, as you will no doubt be marching along to keep yourself warm at first, you will get your heart pumping and will discover all the health benefits of some cardiovascular activity, such as lower blood pressure and cholesterol. Although you may slow down the pace as you admire the scenery around you, you will still be working your muscles which can help to keep you flexible as well as ensuring you tone up and lose weight.

As the temperatures drop, just be sure to pack your mittens, wellies and a woolly hat to keep your ears cosy and protected from icy breezes.
