Working on Detoxing Day 61

Notes

Purchased technical boots for European Trail Walking.  Will be training in trainers and boots for the next two months.  I started training yesterday will hill incline with no issues. 

Trainers are going to the cleaners because I could not find another pair I liked.  I'm trying out thermal technical leggings.

Research

Winter Activity burns more calories because you need to stay warm.  If you are not overdressing, you will burn more calories.  Shivering burns 300 to 500 calories a day.  It is stressful to shiver so standing and shivering for an hour burns 400 calories.  15 minutes of shivering burns a similar amount of energy to an hour of moderate intensity exercise.

Not exercising equals faster aging and people reduce their physical activity as the temperature decreases, it snows or it rains.

61 percent of the British population stopped exercising in the winter.  What is their summer exercise activity that stops in winter?

6. My feet will get wet (21%)

8. I deserve a lie in at the weekend (20%)
