It’s getting cold outside – sometimes really cold!!!
Particularly if you live in Iowa. And if it’s cold outside, most of us don’t like to take our training and fitness activities outside to the cold.
Don’t despair. Treat this as an opportunity to add some variety to your fitness routine.
I must admit before writing further that my inspiration for this entry came from http://www.sparkpeople.com/. This is a GREAT online community for learning about new fitness ideas. Just log on and it will become addicting if you like to discuss fitness. It’s truly a great reference.

Great tips Joe -- our gym even offers free baby-sitting for members. Our kids actually enjoy going to "stay and play." :) (Well...okay...our 8 year old is a little "over" it...but our 5 and 4 year olds like it!)
