Steve boring is the fitness director at the rochester athletic club and he tells me keeping up with your mental health is just "i think just trying to remain positive.

So many people let weather effect their emotional state and that's hard, that's not something you can just turn off.

But if we all realize and accept the snow is going to come, we're all going to be getting up at 4 in the morning to snow blow.

But we're able to just look at that and say i'm going to continue to take care of physical body and my mental health, i think that goes a really, really long way to helping you get through these winter months."

And while it's cold outside.... it's easier for us to forget about drinking water.

But it's recommended you drink half of your body weight in ounces.

One way to stay on track with your water intake is set a timer on your phone or take a drink whenever you stand up.
