Fun And Healthy Winter Activities

Skating

Ice skating has many different outlets: ice dancing, hockey, and if you have access to a solid straightaway of ice, speed skating. Many health benefits accompany getting out on the ice on top of the sheer joy of soaring along over the frozen water. It improves balance, helps joint flexibility, is excellent aerobic exercise, builds leg muscles, enhances endurance over time, and is said to be an even greater exercise than cycling and running when it comes to sheer joint and muscle benefits. Skating also improves your psychological state as well as physical abilities, as it is great at providing immense stress relief, especially if you participate in ice sports outdoors, and builds self-confidence. For ultimate health benefits, always use the proper gear and safety equipment for each activity and never risk unsafe ice.
