Why You Should Exercise This Winter
Winter is coming, and as the weather gets colder, it becomes easier to skip exercise and choose to sleep in.
But by maintaining your training during the colder months, you will benefit and not have to start from scratch a couple of months out from Summer.
Want to Burn More Calories?
You have to work harder to regulate you bodies temperature when you’re in cold environments, so you’ll burn more calories exercising during winter than you would in summer. The Same workout = bigger result. That's a win-win!
You’ll Feel Happier and More Energised
Seasonal affective disorder (SAD) peaks during the colder, darker months, and staying sedentary only exacerbates the effects of this. Get your blood pumping, carrying oxygen throughout your body, refreshing you, leaving you more energized, able to think and focus more clearly. You know you are feeling happy and healthy when exercising, the fitter you get the happier you are!
Sleep in, miss training and before you know it you're sitting on the lounge rugged up and overeating. Having a plan that motivates you these next 12 weeks will encourage you to eat smart and not over indulge. Exercising during winter will keep your eating on track, keeping you fuelled stopping the Winter bulge.
Keep Focused on Your Fitness
Don't let your fitness slide during Winter before you know it's Spring.
All you need to do is make a plan and stick to it. I find training Monday and Saturday makes a big difference when it comes to hitting goals. The next 12 weeks is a chance to push and get a head re your fitness and health, I promise you the extra effort you're putting in will have you looking and feeling the best for Summer and the holidays.
