Read MoreWith the cold weather rolling in comes less activity and lack of motivation for exercise. When the days are shorter more of us want to go home after work, instead of driving to the gym in the dark. I can absolutely relate.
However, far too often I see a client’s weight go up and health go down over the winter months. You have worked hard to have an active lifestyle and keep weight off over the past several months, don’t stop now! Getting in your exercise may be a bit more challenging, but still realistic. Problem solve your way through it by building off past successes, recruiting a spouse, coworker or friend to exercise with you, and remembering why you started exercising in the first place.
Don’t let the cold and dark days of winter stop you from staying active. Don’t be afraid to problem solve and change up your current routine. Plan ahead for optimal success, know when you have dinner parties or activities so you can adjust your exercise schedule as needed. If you can overcome your barriers, you can stay healthy and active this holiday season!
