The Winter Blues

Tell if this sounds like you. You’re in a solid and consistent routine and making progress on your fitness goals and then all of a sudden, the days get shorter and colder. You lose your motivation. The couch seems so much more inviting than going outside in the cold. This happens to me every single year. Let me tell you, I am counting down the days until the daylight stays beyond 6pm (16!).

In the mean-time I am trying to fit in activities wherever I can. Lunch break and not freezing? Go for a walk. Collecting the mail? Go the long way and take the stairs. I am planning on joining the gym soon so I can attend classes, but have been hesitant due to COVID. With any luck, my vaccination appointment sticks and I can feel more comfortable with the idea in about a month. I need to get back to working out regularly!

What are your best tips for fighting off the early days and staying active?
