Happy New Year!!!

Happy New Year, everyone!!! I hope that you're all having a great start to your new year. We here in my household are. 

I know that it's winter and, at least here, dangerously cold outside, but that doesn't mean that you should forgo you workout. 

Bring your workout indoors!!! I know it is really hard to stay motivated when you have to put on about a million layers just to go outside. So workout inside. If you want, you can invest in some hardcore workout dvd's that promise crazy results in as little as 30 minutes a day if you workout 6 days a week and eat only foods off the approved diet guide. 

But isn't it depressing enough that you can't go outside and enjoy life? 

I think that best way to combat the winter blues is to put on some really fun, upbeat music and have a dance party in your living room. You can follow choreographed workouts, which are a lot of fun, get some dance party/workout games for your gaming system and dance it out while trying to get a high score, or just crank that cd up and dance however feels right. All of these are great ways to burn calories and put a smile on your face. And if you're an "adult" like me that owns their own furniture, you can even add some difficulty to your dancing by dancing on the couch!!! Seriously, I do this all the time. I tend to hop on the couch and dance around, the springiness of the couch adds a lot of difficulty, imagine walking on sand, but it's still fun. After a good 20 or 30 minute dance party, you'll be dripping with sweat and smiling from ear to ear. 

Take that Winter!!!
