Well, back home in the nation’s capital the vantage point is a bit skewed from visions of sun-kissed California. Here, a normal December day is symptomatic of 20-degree weather and wintry driving conditions. Winter in Washington, D.C., also means a few snow days when the kids beg to build a snowman based on the Olaf character from Disney’s “Frozen.” Their snowy activity is a great idea.
For family focused physical activities throughout the year, here are a few indoor and outdoor winter ideas to implement into your household regimen:
Letting it snow. As adults we often shun a few snowflakes and make a myriad of excuses to stay home and sip tea on the couch. Not kids. Lace up, get outside with your kids, and build an abominable snowman or snow fortress, shovel snow, go sledding or have a snowball fight for an hour. Burning calories during a fun activity is the easiest way to melt fat.
