Last night was another below freezing night. Prior to going to bed I decided to change the sheets. I was surprised when I noticed how much my body warmed up by the movement of putting clean sheets on the bed.

Rather than going to bed cold, or just sitting bundled up at night, here are some ways to warm up that can be done in less than 10 minutes.

If you live in a two-story home, walk up and down the stairs a couple of times

Do some yoga or sun salutation

Jump rope or pretend to

Jog in place or dance

Do jumping jacks, push-ups, sit-ups, knee bends, or lunges

Any form of movement will increase your circulation and warm you up. When it’s really cold wear a vest to keep your core warm.  A neck scarf and hat will also help keep the warmth in.

Love, Health and Happiness,
