Winter time can be hell on a running/walking workout if you’re used to working out outside. And for those of you ladies with hair concerns, the wetness of the winter time ain’t exactly encouraging you to go exercising outdoors either.

I’m always really impressed when I see the pics of Ms. Tracy running around out there in the snow. Lord knows it couldn’t be me. It hits 40 degrees ’round here (I’m in Florida) I”m like, “Hmm…looks like I’ll be jumping rope today.” The cold on my native Floridian behind is no joke.

So that brings me to today’s post – a walking workout on a treadmill that will have you burning 2000 calories – becasue the best way to avoid those winter workout blues is to get thee on treadmill. Be it one at home or in the gym, the treadmill is a great way to avoid freezing your bullocks off in the name of staying fit.
