5 winter self-care must-haves for nurses

5. Indoor Exercise Gear
Even with the best intentions, it’s easy to slack off on your exercise routine in the winter. But regular physical activity is essential for keeping winter blues away—especially if you’re stuck inside for 12 hours at a stretch. You probably get a lot of walking in at work already. So focusing on stretching and core muscle strength is a good way to increase your fitness when it’s too cold to work out outdoors. One tool that nurses often find helpful for staying in shape is an exercise ball. If you haven’t used a fitness ball yet, check the physical therapy area at your hospital and you can probably find one to try. They only cost about $20 and can be deflated when not in use.
