There’s a definite chill in the air here in New Jersey. And you can’t ignore that it’s suddenly dark by 6:30 pm. making evening walks and jogs a bit less appealing. But now is not the time to go into hibernation until spring. As the holidays (and the special treats, parties and big meals that go along with it), now is a great time to actually ramp up your fitness strategy.
Weight Loss Surgery (WLS) warriors should be active all year round to lose or maintain their weight. It can be hard to get motivated to move during this time of year, but instead of lamenting that you may no longer wish to ride your bike at 8:00 PM, go for your walk or swim in your pool, let’s look at the fun things fall and winter have to offer to get moving! We’ve listed 10 activities to try below:
Hiking in New Jersey’s Local and State Parks: Explore the picturesque landscapes of New Jersey by hiking in state parks such as High Point State Park and Allamuchy Mountain State Park, providing a scenic and heart-pumping exercise for all ages.
Indoor Rock Climbing: Head to one of the indoor rock climbing gyms like Gravity Vault in Middletown or Garden State Rocks in Morganville for an adventurous and physically challenging activity during the colder months.
Ice Skating: Did you skate or play ice hockey as a child, why not test your skills again as an adult?
Yoga Classes: Find warmth and flexibility through indoor yoga classes offered throughout New Jersey. These classes promote relaxation and fitness for individuals of all ages and fitness levels.
Mall Walking: When the weather is too harsh, take advantage of New Jersey’s numerous shopping malls, where you can walk and window shop, combining exercise and retail therapy. The malls often open their doors early just for walkers!
Cross-Country Skiing: Make the most of snowy days by cross-country skiing in areas like Mahlon Dickerson Reservation or Kittatinny Valley State Park, ideal for those seeking a full-body workout.
Swimming at Indoor Pools: Many recreational centers offer indoor pools, making it possible to swim year-round for cardiovascular fitness and muscle toning.
Dance Classes: Shake off the winter blues with dance classes such as ballroom, hip-hop, or Zumba, promoting physical activity while having a blast.
Fitness Centers and Classes: New Jersey boasts numerous fitness centers and classes, such as spin, kickboxing, and Pilates, providing a variety of options for staying in shape during the colder months. Find one that offers month-to-month or trial memberships so you don’t have to commit to a 12-month relationship.
Sledding: We’re looking at you, Mom and Dad: Embrace the snowy wonderland by sledding down hills in local parks or trying snowshoeing, perfect for families and individuals alike. Make memories that last a lifetime and enjoy the fresh air.
