HealthConnections: Outdoor Exercise in Winter

healthconnections_logo_0.jpg

Winter doesn't feel like an ideal time to get out and exercise. The days are shorter, the weather generally colder, and the landscapes less verdant than in spring and summer. As a result, many Americans let their outdoor time dwindle in the winter months. UT's Dr. Carole Myers says that can contribute to weight gain and other health issues.

In this year-end edition of HealthConnections, Dr. Myers tries to convince a skeptical Brandon Hollingsworth that winter is the right time to get out of the house and get moving. Will he be swayed? Listen and find out!
