There are a lot of things we like to associate with winter…  snow, ski holidays, doing a season, the first day on the mountains… getting first tracks and riding powder…

What we don’t want to associate with winter is getting to the bottom of that first powder run wheezing, sweating profusely and feeling like we’re about to throw up. To avoid these feelings at all costs,  it’s necessary to get fit or at the very least get less unfit.

But getting fit doesn’t have to mean hours in the gym on top of an expensive membership, it can sometimes be fun. And since we know December is financially the worst time of year to start a new hobby, we’ve picked the cheapest things we can find. So get your exercise gear out and prepare to make leg burn a thing of the past!

Please note that that not everyone will find these activities ‘fun’ but they’re all really good for you and it’s a scientific fact that exercising makes you feel happier, less tired and is really good for your brain as well as your body.
