Final Thoughts

7. Warm Up, Cool Down - Stretch and start slow to prevent muscle strains. After your workout, change out of wet clothes and warm up gradually.

8. Share Your Plan - Tell someone your route and return time. It's a simple step that can save your life in an emergency.

Bonus Tip: Winter Workouts Are Worth It! - Cold-weather training boosts endurance, burns calories, and crushes winter blues. Stay consistent, listen to your body, and keep moving - you've got this!

How I Stay Active with Winter Rucking 

  • I ruck 3 times a week, even during winter. 
  • When it's brutally cold or dangerously slippery, I pivot to rucking stairs indoors or hopping on my stationary bike while wearing my rucking vest. 
  • But if its' cold - not extreme - I'm out there. Once I get moving, the chill disappears, and the workout feels incredible. 
  • My secret weapon? Electronic hand warmers. They're a game - changer, keeping me cozy and motivated as I power through my winter rucks.
  • Staying active, no matter the season, it's about adapting and embracing the challenge. Cold? Bring it on!

The key to a healthy retirement isn't about avoiding challenges, but rather it's about adapting to them.

If you are working on staying active, steady, and independent after 50, that's exactly what this site is about.

Disclaimer: If you experience snowfall like we did here in 1978 then all bets are off - get some kids to shovel out your house, hunker down inside and wait for  word that it is safe to go outside.
