Walking safely when the ground is icy

The conditions of the last few weeks often reminded me of this important seasonal resource that I never get tired of posting with great delight. Several of my patients enjoy getting some mild cardiovascular activity doing outdoor walking, and while there is nothing that will fully replace that, it's really not a safe option when we have a persistent layer of ice that may be with us until April.

The walk from home free YouTube channel allows you to get a good cardiovascular routine using a small amount of space, a huge variety of videos of different durations and complexity, and a lot of fun music and coaching. Please remember that you have alternatives, and really no excuse, to continue getting a little bit of cardiovascular endurance during the winter months.
