We have been hit with the first snow storm of the year all over the North East.  They are calling this blizzard “Hercules”. Schools are, without a doubt, cancelled – A young child’s fantasy.  The perfect day to skip out on your daily work out, snuggle up on the couch, and catch up on those reruns you’ve been missing, while drinking some hot cocoa Right?  WRONG!

If you have kids at home- or even if you do not, Bundle up and go outside.  Build a snowman, build a fort, have a snowball fight, run around, pull somebody in a sled, shovel the snow! These are all great physical activities that will get your heart rate up, your blood flowing, and your muscles going. 

My nephew is home from school today, and we WILL be outside building a snowman. I have my snow gear ready.
