Elliptical Trainer Exercise Fights Winter Blues Or "SAD"
Elliptical Trainer Exercise Fights Winter Blues Or "SAD"
Great--it's winter already and the weather's changed, so much for the "runner's high" you love in the warmer months! Your disdain for the loss of blue skies and the return of cold, dreary weather can't be denied. Your smile has a price tag: that glowing orb of warmth and joy that seems content to hide behind a dreadful blanket of rain clouds.
The winter blues can be really serious business for some folks. If you're reading this article, you may or may not be aware that exercise and diet are two of the biggest ways to fight off the winter blues. That's why elliptical trainer exercise is the way to go.
If you suffer from SAD (seasonal affective disorder), you may know that light therapy and Vitamin D supplementation has been shown in various studies to counter the disease. At least, that's what the Wikipedia entry said, so we know it's true. (Hey--I love Wikipedia.)
Treating the "winter blues" may call you to the tanning salon or the nutritional shop, but getting enough exercise may also help fight off the depression. Think of it--you have a runner's high during the warmer, sunny months, but come winter, much of this activity and sunlight is gone. Part of the solution is simply to keep up your level of activity and get those endorphins flowing again.
One way to do this is mall shopping, for hours at a time. The only trouble is, it's stressful! Let's face it: shopping in a crowded department store elbowing your way to the clearance rack isn't exactly stress-free. If the winter blues have you down, find another way to get your exercise that won't end up in impulse shopping.
Suggestion: keep warm and dry and use elliptical trainer exercise to get the job done. Elliptical trainer exercise is one of the best methods to stay in shape, since it's low impact and high on the calorie burning. You can stay warm, be in the house in case one of your cats or kids does something that needs a paramedic or kennel, and even watch your favorite shows or listen to an audio book.
If you want to use the high impact sort of exercise, you can do that as well. Of course, elliptical training keeps the stress off your joints, burning calories safely. Since most elliptical machines use handles for your upper body, you'll also be getting a total body workout.
Keep up the activity this winter, and don't give in to the SAD winter blues! After all, the big red guy is making his list, checking it twice...he's gonna find out who's naughty, and who was smart enough to take their Vitamin D and use their elliptical trainer!
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and have fun on your elliptical machine for goodness' sakes!
