Finding the motivation to exercise can be a challenge at any time of year.
Add cold weather and shorter days to the mix, and working out especially
outdoors can seem like a tremendous feat. But exercising outdoors has a
range of benefits, such as increasing vitamin D exposure and a general
sense of well-being, according to several recent studies.
.
Many health experts recommend cold-weather walking as an opportunity to
get the fitness you need.
.
Family physician and sports medicine expert Dr. Bob Sallis considers it a
great method because of its accessibility. "Pretty much anyone can do it,
and you don't need any special equipment," he explains.
.
As spokesman for Kaiser Permante's national Every Body Walk campaign
(everybodywalk.org), Sallis often encounters those who don't believe that
walking can be a powerful medicine against a range of health conditions
such as obesity, diabetes, cancer, osteoporosis and even dementia. "The
evidence supporting regular walking for the prevention and treatment of
chronic disease is inarguable," he says.
.
Ultimately, he says, the method of exercise is irrelevant. "You burn the
same calories whether you run or walk a mile; walking just takes longer."
The point is just to get moving, he says, citing the U.S. Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention director's recent statement that "exercise
is the most powerful medicine known to man."
.
And walking can be a good transitional activity for those who live a
sedentary lifestyle. While indoor walking during the colder months is
always an option, outdoor walking can help reduce inevitable cases of
cabin fever.
.
"It's really easy in the winter to stay inside and not get any fresh air,
and when you're stuck inside all day, you can go stir-crazy," explains
Chris Freytag, an American College of Exercise (ACE) certified personal
trainer and spokesperson, and founder of the health site Get Healthy U
(gethealthyu.com). "Walking outdoors can improve mood, and it's good for
your body."
