The joys of winter in the Wisconsin Dells are many – evenings spent snuggling in front of the fireplace, sipping a steaming mug of apple cider after a day spent skiing on the slopes at Christmas Mountain Village – but most of all, the chilly weather that requires you to don multiple layers of warm clothes, thereby hiding any evidence of holiday overeating. Wait, strike that last one… Just because it’s cold out doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice your fitness routine or let that hot bikini bod you worked so hard for in the summer fall victim to pumpkin pie and cranberry sauce overload. Whether you’re spending a weekend or a week vacationing in the Wisconsin Dells this winter, it’s easy to stay in shape! In fact, you’ve got so many workout and fitness venues to choose from that there’s really no excuse to let your exercise routine slide. Plus, the Wisconsin Dells is home to more than 20 indoor water parks, so you’ll get a chance to show-off that bikini-ready self, even in the middle of winter!
