Walking is very good exercise for people of any age. However, for most people, winter poses a challenge for this fantastic form of exercise. Read on to learn how to keep up your walking during the winter months.



  1. 1
    Bundle up and walk outdoors. Most importantly make sure your feet, hands and ears will be warm and protected. After a few minutes of walking, the rest of your body will feel warm due to the energy you're expending. Be sure to take care with icy sidewalks and cold and snowy conditions.
  2. 2
    Park your car away from offices and shops when running errands to force you to walk further.
  3. 3
    Organize or join a mall walk which will provide both exercise and camaraderie. The social angle may keep you motivated to continue your exercises. Or just window shop, and be sure to walk to the mall, if it's not too far from your house.
  4. 4
    Join a gym preferably with an indoor track, but a treadmill will suffice.
  5. 5
    Purchase and use a treadmill at home, if you would rather have one available without having to drive to a gym.
  6. 6
    Walk around your house. For added intensity, walk up and down your stairs, if you have a second story and/or basement.
  7. 7
    Walk up and down school bleachers. Be safe by using the handrail, if one is available.
  8. 8
    If you live near a multi-story building, you can get some great exercise walking up and down their stairs. Resist using the elevator.
