I have three ways to confirm winter's chilly arrival: my lips begin to chap, I no longer need to referigerate my fruit, and I start wearing a pair of gloves to bed. Oh, and one more thing. On these frigid New England mornings, I find it impossible to jubilantly spring out the door for an early jog. Brrr. I don't own a gym membership, but fortunately there are other ways to keep my blood pumping and muscles working from within the comforts of home.
No matter what temperature your thermostat registers, check out this giveaway to get your winter exercise groove on!

The first place prize for my giveaway will be this handy dandy workout boo
k, Women's Home Workout Bible published in 2010.

Hello..
I love to play netball:)
At least there is a target to achieve, rather than just running on threadmill endlessly, that's a TORTURE to me..hehe.
how fun! I teach Pilates as a PE class at GW in order to make myself exercise :) And I'm going to tweet your post, too!! Hope to see you in May when I come to Boston for the exergame research conference!
I go to the gym 5 days a week and I always do 45 minutes of cardio followed by arms/legs depending on the day. I always carry my gym clothes with me in the car so I have no excuse not to go.
what a great book! I try to run with my dog because he's such a good running partner, endless energy!
Love the post. I like playing football and soccer for excerise. Also running and doing core workouts/weights at the gym.
Love this idea! I run outside, inside...wherever the temperature is most pleasant you will find me there. I also love any sort of Les Mills training such as body pump or body combat with MMA...and as scared as I may be I might even try crossfit...enough of my friends are trying to get me into it, I may become fair game :)
My favorite exercise is playing sports and Zumba!! I love zumba sooo much (you do need a gym or dance membership though). I'm jealous, I wanted to go to FNCE, I went last yr it was so fun and you get so much free stuff!
