Exercise inevitably takes a backseat and the fitness regimen goes up for a toss. In the winter months since digestion is easier we tend to eat more and put on more weight. Also,body sculpting the winter chills aggravate the possibility of cold and influenza. It is therefore very important to exercise regularly to shed off the extra weight and build up a stronger immunity system.
