Staying active during cold months can be challenging. It is easy to get to the park or beach and go outside when it is hot, but being outdoors when it is rainy and cold isn’t fun at all.

My 90 Days to Fitness
I started gaining weight when I was five years old and was never able to lose all of it. Some other things have kept me from losing it, such as problems with my knees from the age of nine that made some exercises impossible for me to do, and also the fact that those knee problems have had me unable to do any exercise for six weeks every time they've gotten hurt. It's happened 12 times in total, which means that the weight I gained in those six weeks was even harder to lose because I knew that if I did certain things I would go back to square one in that wheelchair—and I'm stuck with that problem for all of my life.

The Benefits of Bodyweight Training and Weight Lifting
One of the things I think we don’t realize coming into fitness is that it isn’t a sprint, it’s a journey. It’s going to have its ups and downs. When the ups and downs come, we must remember why we started. When I first started fitness and working out, I thought I was going to see results quickly. I would wake up every morning, go the bathroom, and look in the mirror, hoping to see a six pack. I’ve been involved with fitness for two years now. One of the things I have taken from it is… that the results you want to see don't come overnight, but small bits of progress do. The small bits of progress make up the big result you want to see.
