Alina Garbuzov, of Providence, takes big steps in her snow shoes along Blackstone Blvd. during the Dec. 19 snow storm.

With tomorrow's forecasted snow, some folks may be unsure how to get the exercise in -- especially if they included better fitness as part of their New Year's resolution.

So here are some suggestions for wintertime activities, even if you don't have an at-home gym:

Ice Skating: The Bank of America Skating Center in downtown Providence and many other local rinks are open and ready for holiday skaters. Check out projothebeat.com for skating events near you.

Skiing or snowboarding: Whether it's cross-country skiing or downhill snowboarding, there are lots of places around the region to enjoy the snow. Take a look at this search of ski areas within 100 miles of Providence.

Winter walks: Why not take a walk on the winter beach, or check out the seals near Rome Point in North Kingstown? Here are more scheduled events that are walk-related.

Workouts at home: Some of you were lucky enough to get Wii Fit for holiday gifts. Go ahead and try the cardio, yoga, balance games and other activities. And if you don't own that particular game, keep moving indoors by trying Pilates, yoga or any other floor exercises.

If you're intrepid enough to go out in the snow, fitness classes offered around the region include Zumba, Yoga, and even belly dancing.
