On chilly winter days, your best plans to exercise can get the cold shoulder. To spice things up, add something new to your regular routine.

"Winter is the perfect time to add variety and interesting options to your fitness routine, and it's also a great time to work on your weak areas,"

Need some ideas and inspiration?

Here are tips to help you warm up to working out, even when it's cold outside:

1. Sign up for salsa or Zumba classes. Learning new dance steps can take the work right out of your workout. You'll be so busy concentrating on new steps and moving to the music, you may just forget you're sweating.

2. Build your own boot camp. Meet with friends at your local park and take turns being the "drill sergeant" with each workout, says Burron. Use a fitness book for guidance. Or if you're not quite there yet, plan a group winter walking challenge.

3. Set up a family circuit. Create circuit stations you can do with your kids. Activities can include jumping rope, weight lifting on a balance ball, jogging in place or on a treadmill, plyometrics like jumping squats or rock-star jumps, free-weight exercises, and jumping on a mini-trampoline. "You can include juggling — and turn up the music, too."

4. Take up a new sport. Winter sports like cross-country skiing, ice-skating, sledding and snowshoeing are a sure-fire way to stay in shape and get away from it all

5. Take long winter walks. The usual places can have a fresh feel in the winter months. "We hike up a local waterfall trail exclusively in the winter because we never see tracks of people — only critters — and it's so beautiful,"

6. Hire some help. If all else fails, working out with a fitness trainer can help you stay motivated through the winter months."A trainer will work you up to spring activity levels and teach you new exercises”

7. Invest in new workout clothes. If your old duds are dull and dreary, a colorful new jacket, hat and gloves can put the bounce back in your step.

8. Get fit online. You'll find plenty of podcasts available on the Internet with your choice of e-everything, from mat Pilates to doo-wop dancing. "You can even get an online personal trainer and an eating plan”
