7 Ways To Stay Active Outdoors in the Winter

As much as I love hunkering down in the winter, there is something so refreshing about getting out in the winter, getting some much-needed Vitamin D & breathing in the fresh, crisp air! Let's talk about some ways you can take your workout from the stuffy indoors to the refreshing outdoors!

1. **Snowy Walks:**

  Take a stroll in the snow. It's refreshing, and you get to enjoy the winter vibe.  My favorite place to walk is on frozen Lake Waconia to Coney Island!

2. **Snowball Throwdown:**

  What's better than throwing snowballs at your kids?!  Nothing!

3. **Park Playtime:**

  Head to a park and improvise a mini obstacle course. Jump over snow piles and keep it playful.

4. **Winter Hikes:**

  Explore snowy trails for hike! Bundle up & check out the trails on Three Rivers Park District.

5. **Ice Skating Adventure:**

  Lace up your skates and hit the ice!  There is an outdoor rink located behind Waconia Ice Arena.

6. **Sledding Spree:**

  Grab a sled, find a hill, and let loose. It's a no-fuss, fun-packed winter activity.  My favorite sledding hill is behind Trinity School in Waconia!

7. **Biking in the Cold:**

  Dust off that bike and go for a ride. Studded tires will keep you steady on snow-covered paths.

8. **Snowshoeing or cross-country skiing:**

  Rent snow-shoes from Never Bored Adventures located in Waconia, MN.
