Still have a yard and chickens to keep up so there is always something to do.
Cover/uncover the plants on really cold nights
cut down the banana plants that froze this week
mow/pick up leaves
prep the garden for next year
clear the chicken coop of all the “black gold” (compost)
Pick up limbs, cut wood for fire pit
put out mulch/pine straw for plants
etc. etc. etc.
I miss my dogs. They gave me no choice but to suit up and get walking even if it was -20 outside and we had to abbreviate the walks a bit. Three times a day plus brief outies in the back yard, rain, shine, snow, sleet, tempests… the Dogs must be Walked.
Gym. Lovely, wonderful gym. Where it is never too hot or too cold. Getting there is an issue occasionally, but I really love my gym and all the folks there. Signed - a once professional sofa slug, who discovered at the ripe old age of (XXXXX) that I actually like working out. (Plus walking the dog, but he’s a small fluffball who doesn’t like “weather,” so he’s like “let’s get this done, okay? Like now?”)
:wink wink: :nudge nudge:
@therealjrn
Say no more
@therealjrn are you insinuating something?
@therealjrn Do you alternate arms or just take on the fiddler crab look?
YESSSSSSSSS—finally—yoga as an option!!! I feel seen! Unlike this little dog:
@JameTG That looks real doesn’t it?
@JameTG @therealjrn omfg, that’s terrifying even though I assumed it was fake.
Shivering my ass off. Burns tons of calories.
@PocketBrain
I don’t keep active often, but when I do…I use Beat Saber.
@goldnectar Had to Google. This is not a euphemism like I thought it was.
@DrWorm oh you.

Shoveling snow.
This is the time of year that I’m actually active outside. It’s the best. I’m already dreading the end of February.
It’s ski season! Elliptical to get myself in shape and double diamonds to burn some serious calories.
Gym membership and yoga, but all of that’s on hold while my stupid fractured ankle heals.

Pokemon Go is not a good substitute.
I ride bicycle and sweat a lot less.
I turn off the heat and shiver for a couple of hours.

Where I live cold is in the 40’s.
An indoor bike. An outside bike is more fun, though not in the cold.
Zwift. 70 miles a week… Sprinkle in some elliptical for when my legs are dead.
When it’s cold out, I’m not active, I’m passive.
Same thing I do all year round - running after my kids!
