- • . Keeping Active in Winter.

When the weather turns cold and snowy, do you feel like abandoning your exercise program? While motivating yourself to be active in winter can be more challenging, it is well worth your time and effort!

When the weather is cold, you might not be able to perform your usual activities. Take this as an invitation to experiment with different exercise forms. Alternating new activities with old favourites can keep your enthusiasm high. This cross-training can also help you avoid getting injured from repeatedly doing the same activity. Here are some suggestions for the cold winter months: Outdoor Activities. The winter months offer the opportunity to try exhilarating, high-energy activities like cross-country or downhill skiing, skating, sledding, snowshoeing, snowboarding pr brisk walking. Being outdoors on crisp, cool, blue-sky days can be spiritually uplifting. Indoor Activities. Inclement weather may require you to work out at home, so be ready for this. For most types of equipment you see at health clubs there are similar models designed for home use. Try stationary bikes, treadmills, rowing machines, swimming, exercise classes, weight machines, free weights, jump ropes or rubber resistive equipment such as Dyna-Bands or tubing. Exercise videos, music tapes, and C.D.'s can also keep you motivated.

Exercise is good for your mood. Continuing to exercise when it's cold can give your self-esteem a boost. You will be proud that you are adhering to a health-promoting activity. Exercise can also help provide you with the extra energy you need to make it through the winter months and doing activities outdoors will help you get some of that vitamin D (from the sun!) that we get deprived of each winter.

Realize that even if, despite your best intentions, you don't exercise as much as you did before the cold set in — that's O.K. The goal is just to do as much activity as you can to maintain your physical, mental and emotional health.

They are the R&B duo 2Face, Winnipeg's latest export into the exhilarating world of music. The duo landed a six-album recording contract, last fall with BMG Music Canada (the largest contract out of Winnipeg since Chantal Kreviazuk). The deal covers almost everything — international releases and video record- ings for each album, promotions, and support for tours and merchandising. The contract value, well over $1 million shot 2Face straight into the limelight. We got the opportunity to interview the duo at their downtown recording studio last month. We had a blast, and got all the juice for you — a peek into the lives of 2Face. Q: How'd you guys get started in the Rob: Still making music, or on a beach. music industry?
