Winter A Good Time
To Get Yourself In Shape
MARCI BERLIN
Winter. Are the short days-
long nights preventing you
from either maintaining or in-
creasing your level of physical
fitness. Contrary to what you
may think, winter could be the
season you get into shape.
During the summer months
your level of activity may be
increased because of the longer
days, warmer weather and
higher energy levels. It seems
there are so many activities to
do. After getting into a routine
of five days a week to work out,
winter may be the time to de-
crease your activity. A seden-
tary lifestyle, however, is not
the answer.
Your level of fitness will not
decline with one or two weeks
off, but five months off will.
Winter training can be a de-
light. Many people even in-
crease their level of fitness dur-
ing the coldest months of the
year. Being outdoors during
the winter months can be
exhilarating. A long walk, run
or the intensity of cross-
country skiing can almost
make you forget winter
weather.
A few common winter myths
(from Runner Magazine and
Dance Today magazine) have a
tendency to keep people in in-
stead of out.
You cannot' freeze your
lungs. If the weather is so cold
out that it hurts, then don't run
or cross country ski. Frostbite
will not occur unless it is 20
degrees below zero (including
windchill factor), then it is ad-
visable not to workout outside.
There are not many winter
days when it is this cold. But
use your common sense.
Wet clothing provides little
insulation so it is important to
wear layers. Start with
turtlenecks, because the air
spaces between the layers pro-
vide insulation to keep you
warm. No matter how cold it is
you will sweat. These layers of
winter clothing will keep mois-
ture away from your skin.
Twenty percent of your body
heat escapes through the head,
so protect your ears, conserve
your heat and wear a wool cap.
Drivers cannot see you. It is
darker earlier and it is impor-
tant to wear reflective clo-
thing.
Snow and ice can be messy
and dangerous. Hiding under a
bit of snow can be a small patch
of ice. Try not to work for speed
workouts. Slow down.
Muscles tend to be less flexi-
ble during this time. The risk
of injury could be greater. Cold
weather will constrict blood
vessels and impede blood flow.
Muscles must be warmed up
before exercising outdoors. Try

a small jog in place, this will
get the oxygen and blood flow-
ing into the muscles, then fol-
low with static stretching.
Whether you are a runner or
not, take advantage of the
winter months and learn how
to cross country ski. This is one
of the best aerobic activities.
Still, if you are a seasonal
exerciser; either an outdoor
runner, walker, biker or
swimmer and can't bear the
winter weather, there are
many activities to keep you
busy during the winter
months. Keep in mind, when
doing any aerobic exercise it is
extremely important to
monitor your heart rate. This
will determine if you are work-
ing either too hard or not hard
enough. You can then adjust to
gain the benefits. You will im-
prove your cardio-respiratory
system and will burn body fat
when you train between 60-75
percent of your maximum
heart rate. (Maximum heart
rate: the fastest your heart will
beat.) The calculations to find
your heart rate is simple and as
follows: 220 - age = maximum
heart rate. Now work within
60-75 percent of this figure:
Maximum heart rate x 60 or 75
percent target heart rate.
This is the recommended
training intensity range as
noted by the International
Dance Exercise Association
and Aerobics Fitness of
America Association.
During the highest level of
the aerobic activity check your
pulse. (Place a finger, not
thumb, either at the base of the
wrist or at the carotid artery
located about two inches
diagonally below the ear.) Do
not press too hard. It results in
lowering the pulse. Count for
six seconds, add a zero at the
end of your number of counts.
This figure should be the calcu-
lated figure. If you are working
too hard, the pulse will be
above the number and lower if
you are not working hard
enough.
This is important to under-
stand and will benefit you in
desired results. To increase
your level of fitness work out
four times a week at a
minimum of 20 minutes (de-
pending upon the aerobic ac-
tivity). To maintain your level
of fitness, three times a week.
To lose your level of fitness two
times a week.
Alternative indoor exercises
include: indoor running, sta-
tionary bike, rowing machines,
swimming or aerobic and exer-
cise classes.
As with runners and skiers,
class participants must follow
indoor weather guidelines
when the temperatures begin <
to drop. Layer up before you
put on your winter coat. Cover
your leotard with a t-shirt, leg
