If you are feeling the effects of being stuck inside due to cold weather, and have the winter blues or more commonly called “cabin fever,” then you are not alone.  Matt Janus, an exercise physiologist at OSF Healthcare in Pontiac, Illinois says that while being stuck inside can have its drawbacks it doesn’t mean you can’t stay active.

One thing that can help with keeping yourself active, is by keeping it simple. A little thing like dancing with your spouse or kids can really be a huge benefit towards keeping yourself active.

Check with your local YMCA or Hospital for tips and classes on staying healthy and active during the winter months when you can’t get outside.
