EXERCISE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Try winter outdoor activities
like cross-country skiing or snowshoeing (if it's snowy in the area). If
the weather is not snowy, than cantinue to walk, If it's one of those
nasty, cold, rainy places, then jopin a gym and use the treadmill,
exercise bike, aerobics classses, etc. Swimming is an excellent
exercise that is easy on hte joints.
