Sometimes, even when we have every intention to do so, things get in the way and prevent us from exercising. One of the most common is the winter weather. Besides it just being tougher to get out there in the cold there are serious safety concerns such as ice.
Snow and ice prevented one of the contestants on Biggest Loser this season from hitting their weight loss goals.
This got me researching ways to overcome winter obstacles. For running on ice and hard-packed snow Polar Cleats came highly recommended to me (in fact, Runner’s World found they were a top performer in tests). The cleats are mounted on recycled rubber (from old truck tires, I am told), and slip on easily and securely over running shoes or boots.
Polar Cleats has sent me a set of cleats which we’re giving away.
With all the rough weather across the country this winter, these will come in even more handy than ever for many of you. So, we want to know, what do you do to keep up your exercise regimen during winter? Tell us for a chance to win.
