Daylight, fresh air and alone time in the snow with loved ones.
Best of all; you burn a lot of energy, i.e. burn fat – without thinking about it.
Combine utility with fun this winter with our 13 tips.
No, you don’t have to hit the gym to lose weight. Even good old traditional leisure activities can help you stay in shape. Because even if you don’t think about it, your combustion is activated as soon as you move. Whether you’re sledding with the kids and running up and down the hill or shoveling snow in the garage driveway. And who doesn’t get sweaty after a few hours outside in the snow with the kids or the dog?
In total; any physical activity is good activity – especially if you want to increase your metabolism and lose weight. But the advantage of our suggestions is that you also get daylight, fresh air, valuable alone time with loved ones – and that you don’t feel the physical challenge you are actually putting your body through. But the clock is ticking and suddenly you’ve done a tough exercise session lasting several hours. Win-win for everyone!
