Every day spend at least an hour outside.
Disregard the weather, and just do it.
Your ancestors spent far longer hours outdoors in far worse weather while being far more physical. You can handle an hour a day.
I recall reading an anecdote of fur trappers overwintering in a cabin.
Their leader insisted the whole troop walk two miles twice a day every day whether it was clear or a blizzard.
They had beaten a ¼ mile or ⅓ mile path around their cabin. They walked it.
There was no cabin fever, and the men maintained robust health.
You can handle sitting outside for lunch hour minimally.
Though I type this after having sat reading outside while enjoying the fresh winter air, I always got a kick out of in Cali visiting the beach and seeing men in suits strolling barefoot along during lunch hour.
The tall thin hippie girl doing sun salutations, the barefoot lawyers going for walks, myself doing pushups then sprinting into the surf…
It’s California – endless summer, though those are “winter” recollections.
In New England I’ve been known by neighbors to be out shoveling snow in shorts, boots, skull cap, and gloves.
I’d blow coworkers mind working outside near 0° F in a tshirt, pants, gloves, and hat.
The human body can handle wearing little in most weather, especially considering you’ll be inside soon enough.
Spend an hour a day outside, you’ll be better for it.
Fresh air cures all.
Everyone I know in Cali misses out on shoveling snow.
Growing up doing that is better than sitting inside Cali suburbs with an Xbox.
Dad, thank you.
