As temperatures drop, it’s natural to move less and want to stay warm and cozy. While rest is important, our bodies still need regular movement, especially during the winter months, to stay healthy and pain-free.
Cold weather can increase joint stiffness, reduce flexibility, and make muscles tighter. Icy conditions also raise the risk of slips and falls, which can trigger flare-ups or new injuries. The good news? A few simple habits can go a long way in keeping your body feeling its best all winter long.
Simple Ways to Stay Warm and Keep Moving
Some easy ways to keep you body warm and mobile this winter:
- Keep moving throughout the day. Even though it’s cold, bundle up and go for short walks when possible.
- Wear layers to keep body heat and protect those muscles from getting cold.
- This is also the most crucial time to remember those warmups before movement to increase blood flow.
- Lastly, stay hydrated with water and warm fluids!
