beachbites 19 Williams and Daniel work out with Indian clubs to increase range of motion in their shoulders, chest and back. Beware of Wind Chills When cold weather brings windy conditions, exercisers should try to plan their workout routines so that they are running into the wind on the way to a specific point. That way, heading back, especially after sweating, runners can avoid getting a chill. Williams suggests that exercisers, especially runners, run with the wind on the return. This can involve some creative forethought, but it is well worth it. Hypothermia/Frostbite Symptom Awareness While most people think of frostbite as something that only happens to the cheeks, nose and ears, it actually easily occurs on hands and feet. Warning signs can include a numbing sensation, loss of feeling or a stinging sensation. The best way to avoid frostbite when suspected is simply to return inside and allow the extremities to warm before the symptoms become severe. Hypothermia happens frequently when colder conditions involve wet weather, like Wrightsville Beach’s winter rain showers. Signs of hypothermia include shiver-ing, fatigue, loss of coordination and slurred speech. Like frostbite, the best way to thwart hypothermia is simply to move to a warmer climate indoors.
