minnesota anyone?

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Shout out to all the MN Peeps! I live in the northern burbs....Run run run during the summer along with my Y membership for weights...then during the winter I will be at the Y thinking about getting some swimming laps in for cardio this winter.

Just north of the cities. I do not have a gym membership but last year I made my own home gym. An elliptical machine and a tv combined with my boyfriends punching bag. I play volleyball all year, indoors in the winter of course. I will probably buy a membership to the gym near me that offers kickboxing and marshal arts classes. Feel free to add me Minnesota friends!

There's a whole Minnesota group...you should find them!
Most of my friends on this site are from Minnesota.

As for exercising in the winter, I do the same thing I do in the summer. I hit the gym.

IM from the twin cities area. Winter time I do alot of indoor activities such as videos and whatnot. Oh and yes you cannot forget the outdoor sports. I love to cross country ski. I cant seem to ice skate but thats a really good workout too. When it gets to cold though i hibernate. lol

I'm a Minnesotan during the summer when at a lake cabin on NO MN. Witer or summer the exercise is the same......a NU Step cross trainer. Great for cardio and large muscle workout, back pain, etc. My physical therapist recommended it.

Central MN (north of St. Cloud). I do workout DVD's, treadmill and stationery bike. Also walk our dogs, shovel snow and have taken up cross country skiing in the last couple of years.

I am from the northwest Burbs. I started my weight loss journey in January. I did alot of just dance 3 on the wii in the beginning. But I am finding that the summer months are harder for me cause i am out and about more and have been neglecting my routine.

Iowa!! I have family in Southern (very Southern) MN though.... if that counts for anything! lol

MN girl here....St. Paul. Just got a gym membership in preparation for winter. I do cardio outside now and weights at the gym, during the winter I will do both at the gym.

Minnesota FTW! South-central for me.

Minneapolis, I guess I just do a lot of DVDs and anything I can do in my living room. I also bike to commute nearly year round. There's lots you can do though, if you like being outside you could skate or go snowshoeing, hiking. Just bundle up! I think it's worse now, I can't stand this heat (though there is some reprieve today).

Close -- right across the Red. I could do outside activities in the winter but I hate the cold so I just do the gym. Ice skating not too bad as long as it isn't 30 below.

Snowshoeing, cross country skiing, downhill skiing, shoveling snow. :-)
:happy:

i see alot of people on here from other states especially cali. but never minnesota. im from the northern part wondering what you do in winter for exercise

I'm from Minnesota also. I am a member of a gym with an indoor track, so if I wanted to run I could do it indoors.

I'm from MN too! Last winter was the first winter in a long time that I actually lost weight. I refused to use winter as an excuse when it came to weight gain. Despite how cold it was several mornings a week, I would bundle up with multiple layers and walk around my neighborhood. Not nearly as long of a route that I do in warmer parts of the year but I still did between a mile and a mile in a half. I also did LOTS of workout videos from OnDemand and did fitness games for the Wii. I walked on my breaks at work every day so that was 25-30 minutes of cardio right there as well. Every little bit helps, especially in the winter when it is more difficult for us to stay active. This winter will be no different for me. I will continue to stay active year round. No more excuses!
