Yes, it is that time of the year again. Winter has arrived and the extra pounds can start to add up — so it is time to hit the gym and forget about staying home eating and watching TV. There’s no need to cover your self with sweaters and jackets during all the winter months to hide that extra weight — keep the pounds off!
Luckily, in Borderstan we have excellent options for staying fit during the season. Around the neighborhood you can join a full-service gym or hire a personal trainer at a more specialized facility.
Not so rigorous about machines and training by yourself at the gym? There are other kinds of workouts available in the neighborhood, such as Capoeira or Cross Fit that will keep you fit while having fun.
