Winter Exercise in the times of COVID-19: How to navigate safely continuing your exercise routine without a gym

With snow and colder weather around the corner, and gyms at lower capacity due to COVID-19, fitting exercise into your daily routine may feel more difficult. Exercise is a key practice that benefits both physical and mental health. Check out these tips and suggestions for safely continuing your exercise routine during the winter months.

Indoor Activities:

• Yoga
• Sit-ups, Squats, Push-ups, etc.
• Zumba or other dancing
• Stairs in your house or apartment building
• YouTube or other virtual exercise videos

• Hiking
• Snow shoeing
• Cross Country skiing
• Running or Walking
• Ice Skating

1. Dress warm and dry – not only is it important to stay warm, but wear fabrics that wick moisture. Moist or wet workout gear can cause you to get cold easily
2. Wear layers – layers can always be removed as your core body temperature increases during exercise
3. Wear bright colors – there is a lot less daylight and poor visibility from rain or snow could result in serious injury if you are sharing the road or paths with motorists/other persons
4. Protect extremities – your fingers, toes, ears, and nose all get cold much faster as the blood moves to your core to keep you warm.  Make sure to wear a hat and gloves/mittens
5. Skin protection – continue wearing sunscreen to protect from UV damage and sunburn
6. Wear shoes with traction – rain, snow, and ice can get slippery with dropping temperatures. Stay on plowed or salted surfaces!
7. Warm-up before – exercising at colder temperatures can increase the risk of injury so be sure to warm up your muscles before heading out
8. Hydrate – just because it’s not hot doesn’t mean you don’t sweat or lose fluids. Continue to hydrate as you exercise

So Thankful this Thanksgiving

By: Dan Tyk, Battalion Chief – North Shore Fire/Rescue

I think we could all agree that 2020 has been a year like no other year most of us have experienced in our lifetime. As we reflect on all the challenges faced this year, we can’t help but also express our sincerest thanks and gratitude to all of our stakeholders and community members. 

We are so incredibly thankful for the outpouring of support, letters, cards, banners, and treats dropped off at our firehouses at the onset of the COVID-19 shutdown and throughout the year. To know that community was thinking of our men and women on the frontlines of the response to COVID-19 even despite many of their own hardships and life changes is incredible. Moreover, when we reached out to the community as our supplies of personal protective equipment (PPE) quickly became scare or completely depleted, the community answered in a BIG way.  We received donations from private citizens and businesses alike. Your donations helped to ensure our providers had the equipment necessary for keeping them healthy and safe and we are so thankful!

Beyond COVID, we also continued to receive the support of our member communities as capital renovation projects were completed on our Station 83 in Shorewood and Station 84 in Whitefish Bay. These renovations helped to bring much needed improvements and code compliance to the “home away from home” for our firefighter/EMTs and Paramedics. These improvements also ensure our members have the facilities necessary to complete continuing education, remain physically fit for duty, and become accessible by all members of the public regardless of disability. Plus, our station in Shorewood helps our organization ensure it remains environmentally responsible through the deployment of a solar panel energy system. 

These are just a few of the many reasons we remain incredibly thankful to all the communities we are proud to serve. So, as we approach the Thanksgiving holiday this year, we wanted to send out a huge THANK YOU on behalf of all of us here at North Shore Fire/Rescue. Wishing you all safety and health this Fall and always.
