What Will Move You This Winter?

Fitness instructor Ashley Joo Hyun Choi leads a virtual Tabata class for NIH’ers.

It’s getting colder and, as temperatures drop, it’s tougher to get outside to walk, cycle or jog. With winter here, and as many of us remain holed up in our homes continuing to telework full-time, how do you plan to get exercise this winter?

Did you acquire a piece of gym equipment at home that you love? Are you pacing around your living room, going up and down your stairs, vacuuming more, motivated by your FitBit step count? Doing yoga poses during conference calls? Will you bundle up and go jogging or biking in any weather?

Tell us what you’re doing to stay, or get, in shape this winter and, if you’re so inclined, include a photo of yourself in action. Email your submission to cg9s@nih.gov.

NIH fitness instructors continue to host virtual exercise classes for all levels—from yoga to core strength, Tabata to kickboxing. Sessions are live-streamed, and archived, on R&W’s Facebook page at www.facebook.com/NihRwFitness.
