Cold, dark winter and weight loss

Before I begin talking weight control, I want to point out my football picks from yesterday.....not bad, huh????

If you will be asked asked by your spouse/family member/friend what you want as a present for the holidays, please think fitness. It has been a very cold November and it seems as if this winter will be indeed a very cold one (so goes the global warming thing). Getting outside to do your walks or runs will not happen as frequently as summer time. It is definitely not fun to be out there bundeled up trying to exercise in the dark.


A warm, well lit basement withan elliptical, treadmill, rower or some other machine in front of a tv set provides a much better climate-controlled environment to exercise. For long term weight loss purposes, routine exercise is a vital component, but if we take months off from this because of weather issues, then our goals will not be reached as readily.

A gift of health for you in the form of exercise equipment or $$ towards a purchase is a great gift. Perhaps the gift of life!
