  2. Get Your Burn On In The Cold

You don’t need a weight room to get fit; just spend a season hauling fish nets, chopping wood, or sawing blocks of snow. Or at least pretend to.

 

The workouts: 

The Snowmobile Stretch

The Woodchopper

The Wood Pellet Squat Thrust

The Snow Block Carver

The Fishnet Haul

The Après-Couch
