Staying Healthy
this Winter
Tips for Staying Active
this Winter
-Find a fun activity you can do
outdoors like snowshoeing or
cross country skiing. Check out
the Howard Watson trail in
Sarnia or the trails at Pinery
Provincial Park.
-Go for a swim at a local pool,
such at our local YMCA
or Pathways Health Centre.
Healthy Winter Recipes
“Mock” Mashed Potatoes: Yield: 6 servings
Ingredients:
-Dress in layers for outdoor
activities. Avoid wearing cotton as
your base layer as it tends to stay
wet when you sweat. Your top layer
should be wind and water resistant.
-Stay hydrated. Just because its
cold out doesn't mean you don't
need to stay hydrated so be sure to
drink water before, during, and
after activities.
-Visit our local libraries in Sarnia
and Lambton County to sign out
free instructional DVDs on yoga,
dance, pilates, etc. Try a new type
of DVD each time you return a
DVD to keep you motivated.
