Fortunately, a hip new cold-weather workout has arrived just in time to beat the winter blues: forest skating. Akin to hiking or walking trails, Country Living defines the wintertime activity as ice skating frozen paths that wind through snowy forests and woods. The sport is growing in popularity in Canada, while there’s still only a few large-scale trails in the U.S. Forest skating is not only putting traditional rinks to shame, but also a great way to get active in winter weather. Figure Skating told Vogue that skating boasts more body-sculpting and strengthening potential than it’s given credit for. “Also: Skaters have great butts.”Walking in a winter wonderland has never looked so cool, after all.
