There’s one exercise group that says you really can keep up with outdoor workouts through the winter. It’s called November Project. It was founded in Boston a dozen years ago but has since expanded to 44 chapters in the U.S. and Canada, plus eight more in other countries. Classes often combine a mix of running and body-weight exercises like squats or burpees. But co-founder Bojan (BOH-yuhn) Mandaric says they also mix in fun activities to keep people motivated. November Project organizers have a few suggestions on how to stay motived to keep working through the colder months. One, it helps to have an exercise buddy or group. Also, invest in good cold-weather clothing. Stick to a routine on the same days and times. And most of all, have fun.
