STAY WARM STAY FIT
DURING THE WINTER MONTHS
BRUCE STREBINGERBRUCE STREBINGER.ORG
We all know the importance of
living a healthy and active lifestyle.
With the New Year here, many of
you are probably committing
yourselves to a year of proper
health and fitness.
Yet the winter months can be brutal
for exercising, especially when you
live in exceptionally cold regions.
Here are a few tips from The
Independent, and Active.com to
help you uphold your New Year’s
Resolution in the cold winter
months.
WORKOUT WITH FRIENDS
For those of you who are a bit more
social, working out alone can
sometimes feel like a drag in your
daily routine. After a long day of
work or school, it’s good to unwind
a bit with friends.
You’ll look forward to the social
element in your afternoon, and
naturally, your time at the gym.
Committing yourself to the gym with
a friend can also be a positive
source of peer pressure, pushing
you to exercise even when
motivation is down.
Your friend will surely be hoping to
do the same with you.
WORKOUT AT HOME
If it's cold, snowy, and just plain
messy outside, there’s no way
you’ll be going to the gym. Luckily,
working out at home is totally easy.
If you’re a Yogi, or even a Yoga first
timer, working out at home is simply
a matter of finding a spot to put
down your mat.
If you’re looking for a bit more
space, for pushups, squats, and
situps, just slide your couch and
coffee table over and you’re ready
to go. If you’re focused on strength
building exercises, crossfit and/or
dumbbell training are great
workouts to do in the coziness of
your own home.
CHANGE THE ROUTINE
For some people, falling into a
routine can hurt their workout
motivation. A change of scenery will
surely help gain back some of the
lost motivation.
Visit other gyms, and even change
your fitness routine up. These
changes will keep you ready to
tackle new workouts and
environments.
TRY INDOORSPORTS
This option can be a little difficult if
you’re not familiar with sports, or
don’t have friends interested in
sports. Don’t be diswayed though,
as the previous tip suggests,
change your routine up !
Sports like soccer, basketball,
rugby, and flag football can be very
physically demanding. Try any one
of these if you haven’t had the
opportunity to do so yet. You’ll
never know what you can fall in
love with.
Also, there are plenty of apps that
can help people connect for pickup
sports. Try one!
DANCING
Anyone who has spent a night out
dancing knows what a workout it
can turn into. If you’re tired of
traditional workouts, enroll in a
Zumba, or Salsa class. Zumba and
Salsa can be high intensity
workouts once you learn the steps
and motions.
It’s definitely a fun substitution for
the traditional treadmill run at the
gym. So change those running
shoes for dancing shoes and get
going!
