Are you ready to go into hibernation? Everyone enjoys sleeping in cozy beds during winter and many people gain weight for spending too much time being stuck in their rooms.
Why do we decide to get fat during winter if we are going to go on a diet later? In fact, winter is the best time to lose weight. Although running in the cold may not sound very healthy and some would think they would rather stay in the gym, there are great benefits of doing outdoor exercises in winter. It is healthy? Yes, it is.
Exercising in a cold weather allows you to burn more calories because the body will work harder to regulate the body temperature. Like game characters whose abilities level up with more training, the exercising performance will increase with the endurance in the cold. Do not be scared of getting heart attack unless you decide to get one because the heart will actually become extra-stronger by being trained to distribute blood throughout the body when it is hard to do so in the cold.
More exposure to the winter sun will benefit you with rich vitamin D supply. Vitamin D is crucial in terms of absorbing calcium and keeping the bones healthy. Most importantly, exercising in winter is advantageous because you feel happier. Nobody likes sweating in a humid atmosphere that gives a feeling of dying in the amazon forest. The stimulation of the chill and the lack of humidity heighten the increase of endorphin and happiness.
Surely, refrain from excessive amount of exercise, such as running 1 km within one second, and keep the body hydrated by drinking a lot of water. It is important to wear sunscreen after about 10 minutes of skin exposure to the sun even in the winter season. Lastly, beware of the ice!
