You’ve made up your mind. You’ve resolved (maybe again) to get more exercise. All that’s left is deciding what to choose. What if you wanted something you can do either indoors or outdoors, in any season, at nearly any time, and provides an all-over "workout" without feeling like you’ve done any work?

I took skiing lessons for six years, from the age of eleven until I was seventeen. During that time, some of my instructors were more memorable than others, but the one I will never forget was Stephan. The man was about 6′4″ with shoulders so broad they were appeared to stick straight out from his neck. When he skied, his skis were so close together that his body formed a perfect triangle. Needless to say, he was a very skilled athlete and an excellent teacher, but one of his methods for teaching (or torturing) his advanced students was to force us to ski down the hill on one ski WITHOUT poles.
Located in west-central Colorado, Aspen can only be reached by traveling Highway 82 during most of the year. Otherwise, the best route during the warmest months is along Independence Pass, which offers breathtaking views all along the route.

The new sport of sand skiing is just beginning to take off. For many of us, the experience of skiing in shorts and short sleeve shirts will be a new adventure – one that lets us enjoy skiing and stay in shape all the seasons of the year.

Believe it or not, studies show that people are more susceptible to dehydration when exercising during the cold weather months. Because it is necessary to wear extra layers of clothing, you actually sweat more and generally do not even realise it because all the perspiration is absorbed by the extra layers. You can feel like you are freezing, yet you are still losing essential moisture simply because you are breathing.
