It can be hard to stay active now that it gets darker quicker and it’s getting colder, but it’s vital that you stay active. Working out helps to improve your mood and is important for your spine. Your muscles and spine tense up from the cold air and winter is the season of back injuries. You have to keep your spine strong in case you do get injured.  Some things you can do to stay active are go for a walk at the mall, do some stretching, or go swimming at an indoor pool.
