As this unusually cold weather beats us indoors and refuses to let us out to enjoy winter fitness, I have a couple of suggestions for getting your work-out in, without freezing your fingers on the ski slopes. . .

tai chi poseTHE PILATES PUSH-UP

Push-ups are a great way to work up a sweat and warm your body at the same time, and a Pilates push-up is more fun; it's a flowing series of movements, including a little stretch for your back! ( click here

 for an example of how to do one.)
They are also good for every fitness level because you can do them from knees, from the traditional "plank" position or a few of each. I recommend doing a series of 5 Pilates Push-ups with 3 or 4 of the standard push-ups in each flow

If you do these exercises each day, they'll only take a few minutes, but you'll be amazed at how quickly you'll be building lean muscle, burning more calories, feeling stronger and more energized! 

tai chi poseSQUATS? Oh, yeah!
Squats are another real good exercise that will bring on a sweat, and they have the added benefit of building the muscle the supports your knees, for prevention of knee injury.  I recommend standing with your back against a wall, but your feet are about 12 inches away from the wall (this protects your lower back) If you want the most benefit for your knees, squeeze a mini soccer ball, a nerf football or a work-out ball between your knees as well.  Keeping your back straight, bend your knees and slide down the wall until your thighs are parallel with the floor (or as close as you can come to this position.)  Hold for 5 or 6 seconds and then slowly bring yourself back up by pressing into your feet. Remember to breathe and to keep squeezing the ball for the entire time.  This is difficult, but do as many as you can, the benefits are huge!  Work your way up to 10 repetitions, then, when you get to 10 reps, increase the time that you're holding to 10 seconds.
