March Tips
Although the groundhogs predicted an early spring, there is a good chance that we will all be dealing with Old Man Winter well past the ides of March.  With that in mind, we have some tips for exercising safely and effectively in the cold. 
 
Safety First
 
Cold weather makes your muscles tighter, which can increase the risk of injury. So give yourself extra time to warm up and start easy.
 
Dehydration, which can cause muscle fatigue, cramps, and even decreased resistance to both the common cold and the flu, is easily missed in the winter, because you sweat less in the cold.  
 
Be sure to drink water before, during, and after you exercise to keep your body hydrated. 
 
Trina's Health Tip:  Drink Vitamin Water to stay hydrated and to give the body the vitamins and minerals needed to create balance in a less than perfect diet.

Try Calisthenics When You Head Outdoors
Calisthenics exercises require no equipment and can be done almost anywhere. By performing the upper, lower and core calisthenics exercises below you will get a convenient and effective total body workout.  So, bundle up and then give them a try when you head outside over the March Break.

Upper body - The Wall Push Up
To perform this exercise place your hands shoulder width apart cobra pose Yogaagainst a wall, with your feet together and heels off the ground. Keeping your body straight and abs tight, slowly lower yourself towards the wall by bending your elbows until your nose touches the wall. Push back to starting position and repeat 10-15 times.

 Lower body - Jump Squats
SquatJumpSquatStand with your feet shoulder width apart, abs tight, butt back, knees aligned with your ankles and hands on your hips.  Push up from your heels, jump and land in a squatting position.  FYI: When you land, your knees should be over your ankles and your butt should be back, as if sitting in chair.  Be sure to land on your toes and then push your weight back onto your heels.  Repeat 10-15 times.
 
Core - Standing Torso Twists with Arms Extended

Start in a standing position, with feet hip width apart, knees slightly soft, arms extended forward from the shoulder, and palms together.  While keeping your hips facing forward and your arms rigid, use your core muscles only to twist as far as you can to the right.  At the end of the motion your arms should be at shoulder level and facing the right. Return to the start position, and repeat on the left. Perform this exercise 10 times on each side.cobra pose Yoga
