HEALTH TIP
 
Know when to move your winter workout indoors
Wind chill extremes can make exercising outdoors unsafe even if you dress warmly. The wind can penetrate your clothes and remove the insulating layer of warm air that surrounds your body. If the air temperature dips well below zero F (minus 18 C), choose an indoor activity instead.
