Keeping Fit in Wintertime

Ok, I know it's really coming whether we like it or not (others are anticipating snow others are already tired of it on its first day) it could get frustrating sometimes when its too cold outside and you can't do any outdoor activities. Not only that but it also gets so cold inside the house when the snow is piling outside, we tend to just sit and feast on the foods in the fridge while watching tv. Do you have any ideas to avoid gaining weight and to keep fit this dreaded winter season? That when the summer time arrives you'd still be able to wear your tank tops and short shorts without too much excess fats and jelly bellies trying to pop out your swim suit? Or your set of wardrobe would still fit you perfectly just how they used to before you confined yourself in boredom and resorted to sleeping, sitting and just eating?

Some of the ideas that I came up with when we were thinking anything that we could do while being caught by the coldness inside the house, i wanted to get boxing training equipment for women like this one on the photo but husband came up with more practical idea that all of us here in the house would love, this E35 Elliptical . At first we thought we'd get a treadmill but when we went to Sears and looked for treadmills we saw this elliptical and tried it he decided he liked it better, it's got more features that would fit our requirement on how to stay healthy and fit in the cold season. So he checked this out online and bought it, after a few days they delivered it and been using for almost 2 weeks now.
"Upper body exercise provides a total body workout."

Fluid, Stable, Smooth.... True enough, for a couple of weeks of using it its working I would do 5mi. and burn 240cals, in 30 mins on the average.
I do it gradually like everyday i would add a quarter of a mile.
It works pretty good.

Keeping our body healthy and fit, it deserves it not only we use it for working hard but give it a little treat as well.
