The average person gets two to three colds a year. You may think it's impossible to avoid catching one, but you could keep the sniffles at bay if you just regularly wash your hands.
Cold viruses live in the nose, so every time you touch your nose, you’re moving the germs to your hands. But a good hand washing after touching your face eliminates the virus. And definitely wash your hands after hanging out with a sick person. Wash with warm water and soap for 20 seconds — or the time it takes to sing “Jingle Bells” twice. |

- Start sitting on the ground, with your feet bent in front of you. Lean your chest back without rounding your spine. Grip a weighted ball with your hands. Twist your upper body to one side, then slam the weighted ball down to the ground. Pick it up and repeat on the other side. If you don't have a weighted ball at home, you could use a basketball. Continue alternating for 10 reps.
Falling star:
- Start in a high plank position, with your hands flat on the floor. Lift your right arm straight into the air. As you shift your body to the side, stretch your left leg across the floor. Repeat on the other side. Continue alternating for 10 reps.
Punch plank
- Start in an elbow plank position. Keeping your body in a parallel line with the floor, tighten your hands into fists. Keeping your lower body as still as possible, punch the air in front of your right arm, then left. Continue alternating for 10 reps.

| Baby, it’s cold outside, but if you do manage to motivate yourself into doing a little outdoor workout, you’ll get way more of a payback for your troubles. You’ll burn more calories exercising in the cold than on a balmy day because your body requires more energy to maintain its temperature, making it easier to lose weight. One study found people who hiked in very cold weather burned 34 percent more calories than people who walked on milder days! |
