Still not convinced?
Cross-country skiing has huge health benefits and is an easy and fun way to get in shape and push back against those holiday pounds.
The health benefits of cross-country skiing:
- Cross-country skiing is a low-impact workout that uses almost all muscles groups, (shoulders, back, chest, abdomen, buttocks, and legs).
- The average cross-country skier burns anywhere between 250 and 900 calories per hour. (That’s not a bad use of an hour!)
- Being outside, you will soak up some vitamin D, helping you build strong bones, teeth, and prevent osteoporosis.
- Cross-country skiing releases endorphins into your body. These endorphins will leave you feeling more relaxed, energized, and happier!
Not a fan of skiing? Not a problem!
Strap on a pair of snowshoes to explore and enjoy Grand Park! Snowshoeing provides most of the same benefits as cross-country skiing.
In need of equipment? Look no further:
- Local ski and sports shops rent and sell cross-country ski and snowshoe equipment.
- Looking for a bargain? Thrift stores are great places to snag a good deal on a variety of winter sports gear!
- Still searching? Check out the Facebook group, Grand County Online Garage Sale, Craigslist, or other local online buy and sell outlets.
