Hello and welcome to this week’s blog, the last part for December. All about getting out and about and healthy in the outdoors and starting on your New Year New You before 2022.

I have put some articles below for you to read for yourself about the benefits of exercise in the cold. If you would like to see some different perspectives about it as well as see how similar all their opinions are about it;
