Moderately High

Well, I just got my lab results back and to my surprise my LDL's are "moderately high". Actually it's kind of a shock to me because when I've been tested before I have consistantly low blood pressure and cholesterol. I read all the suggestions of how to lower those "bad" cholesterols. They included #1) eating less saturated fats and more lean proteins and veggies etc -- doing it, #2) loose weight, (even 5-10 pounds it says) -- doing it, but I think the key is right here in #3)exercise regularly. The thing I fall short of -- especially right now in the cold darkness. Since the snow has started I have tried to take every opportunity to shovel it in a vigorous manner -- and today my whole body is sore because the snow yesterday was so heavy and wet -- but I guess I need to do more than just be active -- I need some kind of consistant cardiovascular craziness. Am I going to have to give in and drive in the dark cold snowiness to the gym several times a week? Arrrrghhhh! Let's ponder this for a moment -- Any ideas for a fun, wintery workout? I need encouragement... or a treadmill.
