I took my kids sledding today. Let me tell you that is a good workout walking back up the hill. I also did legs at the gym so I am hurting! All worth it to see the precious smiles on my boys faces.

Sometimes the things we take for granted, ie: sledding or skating, are the best exercises in the world!
Took my kids skating last weekend, they had fun, so did I! Got home, checked out how many calories I'd burned... around 11 ro 12 hundred! Fun, outdoors and with the kids, and it was healthy!

You guys are lucky. It's been in the -30 to -45 windchill here, so it keeps us in, and when we are out, we have to run! Otherwise frostbite! It's suppose to warm up to about -10 on wednesday (Heatwave)!

Oh... I went skating last weekend, carivan! This past weekend I stayed inside, except to boost the car and shovel snow! In Cental Alberta we had about 20cm and are expected to hit about -37C tonight... throw in the wind and -51C! Ack... did a neat little experiment with my kids about half an hour ago... took a hot cup of water outside, tossed it in the air and watched it turn to snow.... it's damned cold... brrrrrr

I'm in the same boat as you carivan and Timday. 'northern' ontario isn't very warm this time of year. can't wait until spring so I can get outdoors to jog, bike, run trails etc. too cold to do that stuff right now.
