Winter Survival Guide
TIPS & TRICKS TO STAY “COOL" THIS WINTER
2018 WINTER SURVIVAL GUIDE FLORIDA, GEORGIA AND CAROLINAS EDITION
Why Our Weather Works Better? While sunglasses can be used in all kinds of weather, they are probably much more suited for days sitting by the pool or hitting golf balls compared to shoveling snow and scraping ice. Salt is great for melting ice. It’s much better on the rim of a Margarita glass. Sand can be used to melt snow and help with traction during blizzards. We prefer our toes buried in it while watching the waves! By living in a warmer weather climate you can enjoy a variety of great activities not just for 4 months of the year, but year round! From tennis to pickleball to golf, and hiking there are tremendous opportunities for fun 365 days a year! Put your boots in storage and get out those tennis shoes. Lots of fun awaits within the Southeast climate.

SWIMMING/WATER AEROBICS A recreational activity for all ages, swimming is the ultimate low-impact workout. Get your heart rate up as you build endurance and strength. Several Kolter communities have indoor lap pools, giving you the chance to train even when it’s a little cool outside. If relaxing by the pool is more your speed, catch some rays and take a dip at your leisure at our outdoor resort-style pools.

TENNIS AND PICKLEBALL Beyond competition and camaraderie, tennis offers a variety of health benefits such as increasing aerobic capacities, lowering resting heart rate & blood pressure, improving metabolic function, increasing bone density, improving muscle tone & flexibility and increasing reaction times. It is a great non-impact sport suitable for all skill levels. As America’s fastest growing sport, pickleball offers many of the same benefits and is a great way to stay social and make new friends. Most Kolter communities across the Southeast offer residents both tennis and pickleball. WALKING, JOGGING AND CYCLING Physical activity doesn’t have to be complicated. A simple brisk walk can help you live a longer, healthier life. Good for both the body and the brain, daily physical movement helps release mood-boosting endorphins and improves overall cognitive function. Many Kolter communities offer community walking trails or parks making it easy to go for a walk, jog or bike ride at any time without having to brave the elements. SUN AND FUN Living year round in the Southeast will have you walking on sunshine. Exposure to sunlight is crucial to your well-being and has a huge impact on depression and sleep quality. Natural sunlight also triggers production of vitamin D, aka the sunshine vitamin. Relationships and connection to others is also crucial to your happiness and well-being. Community clubs and social groups ranging from crafts to cards help fuel existing relationships and create new ones.
