Are you all staying active in this cold weather? Are you getting your cardiovascular exercise 3-4 times per week? I hope so, because it's good for you! Just like your momma, and me say!
If it's too cold outside to jog or cycle, head indoors to the gym. Or do the stairs! Remember the stairs? If you have stairs in your home. Run up and down them for 30 minutes 3-4 times a week. It's really good exercise, and you don't even have to leave the comfort of your home. If you don't have stairs in your apartment, or a gym in your apartment, just use the stairwell access!
If you do have a gym membership, or a gym in your condo. Get your butt down there and sweat! Sweating is good for your skin too BTW's. It cleans out your pores.
