Winters can be challenging, but sitting indoors is not good for your body. It can make you overweight and lead to muscle soreness. Lack of regular movement can cause other problems as well, some of which might prove chronic. Hence, it is important to keep yourself active in the grueling winter months, and that is why we’ve listed six easy outdoor winter activities that you can take up.

Build a snowman
A snowman is one of the first things that we think about in winter. So it only makes sense that you build one of them to keep yourself busy and entertained this winter.

Winter bonfire
It is definitely cold outside in winters, but there’s no denying the beauty of it all either. Nature looks absolutely stunning in white, and it’s just too wonderful to miss just for fear of catching a cold. We suggest lighting up a bonfire, gathering a few chairs, inviting friends and family, and enjoying a nice roasted meal around the bonfire.

Painting on snow
There’s no better canvas for painting than the Earth, don’t you think? So gather all your food colors and start building your very own snow graffiti.

Hang a hammock
Sometimes all you need is quiet time with snowflakes. What better way to enjoy them than to lay in a hammock? Get a strong cloth and tie it against two branches, if there are any near you. If not, you can always build a camp and enjoy a nice time watching the snowfall.

Raise an igloo
Everyone has dreams of living in an igloo. So why not use all that ice lying in your backyard and fulfill that desire? Get molds and sand pills as they’ll help provide a proper structure to your igloo. Ensure that you build a big enough door, though, as you don’t want your igloo to collapse when you try and enter it.

Start a snowball fight
Everything is forgiven in a snowball fight. It is fun and gets the blood pumping, unlike any other activity. Winters are almost incomplete without at least one of these fights, so start one and see who hits the most shots.
