1 Experts recommend at least 1 hour of fun-filled physical activity each day! Check out these winter-inspired activities in Clinton, Essex, Franklin and Hamilton Counties to keep you active this winter! Build a snowman. Search your yard for sticks for his arms, berries for his eyes, and stones for his buttons. Don t forget a carrot for his nose! Shovel the walkway and driveway at home. You could even offer to shovel a neighbor out after a snow storm. That will get your heart pumping! Get your friends and family together for a super sledding party. Slide down the hill and then race back up! Help out around the house. Believe it or not cleaning can also be exercise. Try adding some lunges in while vacuuming. Bundle up and find a fluffy patch of snow then lay down and make a snow angel. Get your heart beating by moving your arms and legs fast. Grab a helmet and a pair of skates or sneakers and find a frozen patch of ice to slip and slide. Contact your local parks & recreation for free opportunities to exercise your brain and body.
