For some of us, winter is our sports season. We can’t wait for that fresh powder or those colder temps. For others, the cold and dark of winter are the perfect excuse to hibernate. But it doesn’t have to be all or nothing. In fact, winter is the perfect time to tackle new challenges both physical and mental.
“Winter is a great time for people who are really active in the warmer months to find new workouts that complement their summertime activities,” says Aaron Karp, MS, ATC, CSCS, an exercise physiologist with the Tisch Sports Performance Center at HSS. “For people who run six to eight months a year, for example, but do nothing else, winter is a good time for weight lifting, lower body conditioning, core strengthening and building stability.”
If you’re looking for ways to complement your warm-weather activities during the winter months, try these suggestions from Karp.
