With cold weather and wintry showers returning to much of the UK this week, those with the intention to walk outdoors more may be thinking of ditching the resolution in order to stay inside.

However, Elizabeth Renter of the examiner.com said that with a little forward planning, this need not be the case.

"Stay committed and flexible about your workout opportunities and before you know it the weather will change once again," she urged.

Although the expert recommends dancing and cleaning as alternatives to going out, simply wearing the right clothing may be a better option.

Polar fleeces worn under a waterproof jacket will help to keep body heat in, while a thermal layer that is not cotton will insulate while drawing sweat away.

Dare2be fleeces use 'Thermal Balance Plus' technology which has a very high warmth to weight ratio and could be ideal for winter walkers.

Walking boots such as those made by Head could also be helpful in icy or snowy conditions.
