Now the cold nights have approached us, fitness is not on the top of everybody’s list. Follow these simple tips to keep you motivated and fit for Christmas. You will look and feel great!
Don’t waste a minute
Yes it is very cold, and sitting with a hot bowl of soup at lunch may seem a great idea, but why not warm up in those spare minutes you have. Find out if there is any fitness classes on during your lunch break or chuck on your big coat and go for a nice brisk walk.
Go to the gym as soon as you finish work!
Choosing when to go the gym can be vital. As the weather is cold leaving the house without need can be a daunting task, so why not go to the gym while you’re out. Most of you finish your working day around 5pm, so in the morning pack your gym gear along with your lunch and head straight to the gym after your working day has finished. Then when you are home there is no need to struggle to leave again.
Don’t let it stop you
Illness can always set you back, if you keep a regular healthy diet and exercises routine this will have a good effect on your immune system leaving you with less risk of illness. But if you do catch a cold light exercise and lots of stretching will be better for you, keep your routine light until you are 100% better.
Book an active getaway
A trip to somewhere with a bit of sunshine will help you beat the blues, and there are many places where you can stay active while doing this. You can go from one extreme to another, from skiing to an activity packed holiday in the sun!
Finally stay positive!
Keep your mind on your goals through winter, you metabolism will automatically speed up in the winter in order to keep you warm, so it is a perfect opportunity to lose weight. Keep working towards your goals with a good mind-set and I am sure you will reach them!
Good Luck!!
