The trick to skiing is, of course, to keep yourself balanced on a slippery slope. Engaging your stomach muscles this way boosts core stability and compresses the lower abdomen (which means a flatter tummy). Plus, it promotes overall flexibility and coordination. Your leg muscles will also thank you:
the general stance of a skier is a slight crouch which strengthens the large quadriceps and glutes muscle groups.
Hitting the slopes is also a fantastic cardiovascular workout. It elevates your heart rate which promotes blood circulation and brings more nutrients and oxygen to your tissues. The immersive experience of skiing also boosts endorphins and adrenaline, providing an overall feeling of wellness. »

If those sugary pastries you gorged on back at the lodge are weighing on your conscious, take solace in the fact that skiing is a solid way to keep trim over the winter months. Most experts agree that an average day on the slopes burns serious calories, up to 3000, far more than an average gym session. Cold temperatures also force your body to raise its own temperature, burning even more calories. Need proof? Trace Snow, a free comprehensive ski and snowboard app, helps you track your day at the mountain. It measures calories burned, speed, distance and much more.
Falling temperatures and exaggerations of a polar vortex can deter many from hitting the slopes, but the many advantages of skiing are undeniable. Try it out at Blue Mountain, Ontario's largest ski and snowboard Resort, where active Winter Warriors can put the Trace Snow App to good use by lapping the trails until the sun goes down.

he cold temperatures are here to stay - so as you take cover indoors, it's the perfect time to put home improvement projects on your to-do list. Here are a few ideas to make your home feel and look fabulous very quickly: »
Give your home a
WINTER WARM-UP
T
thehomenews.ca 15
FROM BORING TO
B O L DThe bathroom is a great place to start improvements, so if yours is boring, basic, or just outdated, it's time to make a change - even on a budget.
Faucets are a simple and affordable way to instantly renew the look and functionality of this busy room. For example, the Darcy bathroom collection from Moen includes transitionally styled faucets that provide a soft-modern look and water-saving benefits to offer the best of form, function, and beauty in no time. The collection is also available in Spot Resist Brushed Nickel finish, so you'll save time cleaning, as it helps resist water spots and fingerprints.
WEATHERTHE WINTER WISELY
No one wants to spend money on high energy bills, so be sure your home isn't losing heat through windows and doors that aren't insulated properly. Updates such as weather stripping can keep the cool air out while keeping the warm air inside - all of which will prevent throwing money out the window.
And don't stop there. Simple tasks, such as replacing worn-out caulk, insulating your outlets, and prepping your windows with plastic cling for the winter months can significantly reduce heating bills. »
16 thehomenews.ca
QuickKITCHEN UPGRADECold weather keeps us inside with far more cooking and entertaining in the kitchen. Decor advisers at Moen Canada say that the quickest way to update the kitchen, much like the bathroom, is by installing a new faucet. From food preparation to clean-up, the faucet is a major workhorse - as well as a beauty focal point. Pulldown and pullout faucets are a popular choice, such as the company's new Brookshire kitchen faucet, which features decorative touches and classic styling with a pullout design for at-your-fingertips water delivery. It's equipped with the Reflex system, which offers self-retraction of the spray wand, as well as a wide range of motion, generous reach, and secure docking retraction.
Get FIRED UPNothing feels better on a cold night than getting cozy by a fire, but is your fireplace prepped for the season? For a wood-burning fireplace, inspect the chimney for nests or cracks. Next, clean it thoroughly to remove creosote (unburned fuel) to prevent unwanted fires. For gas-burning fireplaces, be sure the airways of the pilot and main burners are working properly and the blower is clean. Finally, be sure you have working carbon monoxide and smoke detectors, as well as an operational fire extinguisher nearby. Now it's easy to relax and enjoy the warm glow safely.
CREATE WALLS THAT WOWAdding a splash of colour to your home by painting your ceiling or creating an accent wall will not only serve to refresh your home, but can also help to brighten up your spirits when the daylight hours are shorter.
Cooler weather means faster drying times. Not only does the cooler weather help paint dry, but the lack of humidity in the air will also be a plus when it comes to your paint drying properly. If you start your project early enough in the colder season, you can get your project done in a timely manner without having to pay an exorbitant amount in added heating bills. »

Re-FlooringHAS NEVER BEEN EASIERWinter is a wonderful time to focus on re-flooring. You can choose from all sorts of materials including stone, terracotta, marble, carpet, tile or wood— the flooring of your home can help shape the look and feel you want.
Wood floors have never been easier to install yourself and tend to be quite affordable. The winter air ensures a quicker drying time for any adhesive involved, and new wood flooring tends to insulate better than old, worn flooring. Replace worn down carpet padding if necessary. This will increase the comfort in your home.
FOCUS ON
FIXTURES & FANSWith shorter winter days, there's less natural light and so you may notice your fixtures a lot more. For added illumination and energy savings, update incandescent bulbs with brighter, Energy Star-rated bulbs which use about 75 percent less energy and last 10 to 25 times longer. Next, take a look at the ceiling fans in your home. Start by cleaning the blades with a gentle detergent and then switch the blades to rotate clockwise. Changing this setting pushes warm air down into the room, making it feel warmer.
Your home will operate more efficiently with these wintertime changes - and as importantly, it will look and feel fabulous. THN

INGREDIENTS
• 1 small Jicama, peeled (about 1 1/4 lb/600 g)
• 3 cups (750 ml) shredded Napa Cabbage
• 2 Florida Ruby Red Grapefruits, peeled and segmented
• 1 Carrot, shredded
• 1 cup (250 ml) diced English Cucumber
• 3 tbsp (45 ml) Florida Ruby Red Grapefruit Juice
• 2 tbsp (30 ml) each Soy Sauce and Rice Vinegar
• 1 large Clove Garlic, minced
• 2 tbsp (30 ml) liquid Honey
• 2 tsp (10 ml) Sriracha Chili Sauce
food recipe
Following a healthy diet doesn't mean that you have to eat the same dish every day. As the seasons change, so should your meals and the ingredi-ents you add to them. Each season offers its own unique variety of fresh fruits and vegetables that can be added to recipes for a boost of freshness and originality.
“Winter is peak season for Florida grapefruit, the sweetest and juiciest variety of grapefruit in the world,” says Emily Richards, a home economist.
“And that's just one benefit of this healthy, versatile ingredient that will tantalize your taste buds and provide nutrients to support good health. One-half of a Florida grapefruit contains 100 percent of the recommended daily amount of vitamin C, so this touch of natural sweetness in your meals will also help support a healthy immune system.
Florida's unique fertile soil and lush subtropical climate provide ideal growing conditions for grapefruit to thrive. Growers there have knowledge plus experience - and the lush citrus groves produce the fresh juicy taste that is inside every Florida grapefruit.
Richards reminds us that putting a salad on our menu
is a great way to get the daily recommended servings
of fruits and vegetables - and it's also a good way to
experiment with in-season produce.
“Best of all, salads can be salty or sweet, hot or cold, and made with a variety of textures,” she points out. “The recipe for Florida Grapefruit and Jicama Vietnamese Salad, for example, combines flavours from Florida grapefruit, soy sauce and rice vinegar with the crunchy texture of Mexican jicama. It is a spiced up, refreshing salad, that is a great addition to serve alongside your favourite protein or fish. Using in-season produce makes this dish as fresh as it is flavourful.”
More information and additional recipes are available at www.facebook.com/FloridaGrapefruitCA
DIRECTIONS
Thinly slice jicama and stack slices. Cut into 2 inch (5 cm) matchstick size strips and place in a large bowl. Add cabbage, Florida grapefruit segments, carrot and cucumber.
In a small bowl, whisk together Florida grapefruit juice, soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, honey and chili sauce. Pour over salad and toss to coat. Let stand 10 minutes before serving for flavours to develop. THN

“Best of all, salads can be salty or sweet, hot or cold, and made with a variety of textures,” she points out. “The recipe for Florida Grapefruit and Jicama Vietnamese Salad, for example, combines flavours from Florida grapefruit, soy sauce and rice vinegar with the crunchy texture of Mexican jicama. It is a spiced up, refreshing salad, that is a great addition to serve alongside your favourite protein or fish. Using in-season produce makes this dish as fresh as it is flavourful.”

DIRECTIONS
Thinly slice jicama and stack slices. Cut into 2 inch (5 cm) matchstick size strips and place in a large bowl. Add cabbage, Florida grapefruit segments, carrot and cucumber.
In a small bowl, whisk together Florida grapefruit juice, soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, honey and chili sauce. Pour over salad and toss to coat. Let stand 10 minutes before serving for flavours to develop. THN
