Well do you? There is often a debate on whats the best exercise to build a better upper body. However there is little debate on the most effective workout for the lower body.

Well, even though this is a broad question, one of the safest things to do in the winter is not go outside. Exercise in the winter has been deemed by many doctors as just a risk due to the cold air on the lungs. So that leave us with an indoor workout that test the body like jogging but without the treadmill. How about jumping rope. Everyone thats a regular reader of mine know this is my favorite cardio exercise at this moment. Along with being a free workout ($5 bucks for the rope), it’s an exercise that is utilized by some of the best athletes in the world. It’s a workout that is worth taking the time to perfect. Some of the gains from jumping rope are stamina, leg strength, timing, coordination and speed in some cases. Enjoy this video of Ross Training going super extreme as he usually does.
To answer this dangerous question generally, I would say no. Well first, get your mind out of the gutter. Second, considering the mix of a hill and some gravity, I would still say no, its more fun to go down. Going down a hill was a treat as a kid, whether it be by sled or by rolling, but running up a hill as an adult is a whole different concept. Most fitness ideals can be achieved by simple changes in things everyone did as a kid but simply updated to an adult level of activity. Hill running is an advanced level of core and leg development but the benefits are unmeasurable. This video below is a great example on how to do this challenging exercise with his own personal twist on it. Watch the video and give this a try. This 10-15 minute workout will benefit the entire body. Enjoy.
