Here are 3 great reasons to bundle up and make winter walking part of your routine.*
1. Walking outside in general can be great mood boost, but during the colder months, it can help with seasonal affective disorder (SAD).
2. Because there is less stress on the heart from heat, walking in the cold air can lower blood pressure and increase the efficiency of your workout.
3. Studies have shown that when working out in cold air, the body can more easily burn fat.
So, get out there in the colder temps and get your steps in!
