HAVE FUN!
Winter workouts don’t have to be ALL WORK, don’t forget all the fun winter activities that keep your heart pumping and your joy levels lifted. You can have a snowball fight, sled, snowshoe (which is a great leg workout too), make an igloo, ice skate and so many more. Even taking your little angels, be they kids, nieces or neighbors and making snow angels will touch your heart in many ways.
SET IN SNOW
So, set the tone of the winter season: Get outside, cultivate a strong core, as a team in your household, help others and keep your cardio health a priority. Above all keep your JOY shining. You can make strenuous work fun, safe and light. It’s just the start of the winter season here in Minnesota, We’ve had just a few snowfalls and are gearing up for more this week. We keep our shovels ready, snow blowers tuned, cocoa hot and our eyes on God, the author and finisher of our faith. We aim to see Him in the strength we feel in our legs as we heave snow from the sidewalk. We sense Him in the burn in our lungs from the cold air as we work outside. We hear Him in the laughter of our families as we spend time together and in the purity of the white snow, like a blanket of grace for all. Covering the old, the dead, the former things and making all things new. ‘Tis the season for many amazing things!
