Oh, The Weather Outside is Frightful - But That's No Excuse to Be a Couch Potato

Categories: Fitness

ornamentThe temperatures are well into the minus double digits where I live, and that definitely puts a kink in my active lifestyle. I try to walk a couple of miles every day, but that's just not possible when five minutes outdoors takes away all feeling in my fingers and toes.

But I still want to be as active as I can this Christmas ... indoors, of course. Here are some things my family is doing to avoid being total couch potatoes:

  • Wii. Virtual bowling and tennis are great ways for my brother and I to relive our competitive younger days.
  • Games. Charades and cranium provide hours of laughs.
  • Cooking. It's not the most fun activity out there, but helping out in the kitchen will not only get you off the couch, it will make the chef's day.
  • Better yet, cleaning. Volunteering for dish duty is a good way to earn your keep.

What indoor activities are on your Christmas Day agenda?
