10 THINGS TO PREPARE YOURSELF FOR A WINTER OUTDOOR ADVENTURE

Grab your snowballs as we head out into Mother Nature's Icebox to create some beautiful exercise memories.

1. If you spit into the wind and it blows back into your face, stay indoors for the day or face the world tomorrow looking like a rabid Alfalfa. Instead, enjoy The Great Indoors! Take a short journey to your local skating rink - or ice rink, where the temperature is at least controlled and there are people to pick you up when you fall and that tongue gets stuck.

2. Weather permitting, realize your own limitations and then, recognize those limitations. If you've been inactive these last few weeks or months, you'll need to take it slow in the beginning. Traction isn't pretty.

Make your first outing short and limited. Slowly build from there. To accelerate your capabilities, try a couple of short outings in one day with the time spaced between the activities (if possible). For example, go bowling early in the day, then take a half-mile walk or hike that evening.

It's unreal to have an outrageous beginning goal of say....walking 5 miles three times per week. Can you walk 15 miles per week? Sure you can! But to do such, you must slowly build. By the way, if you're planning on seriously doing this, we highly advise a protective bug grate for the mouth as well as splatter-resistant sunshades for the eyes.

Some really enjoyable outdoor activities that aren't too taxing include: flying a kite, a walk around your local park or beach, fossil hunting, fly fishing, canoeing in a mild body of water, raking leaves, miniature golf, and a visit to the zoo.
