Who wants to get out of a nice, warm bed and work out when it\u2019s cold outside? If you want to get inspired so you can stay healthy and happy and avoid winter weight gain, we\u2019ve got some helpful tips to keep you going all winter long.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Make mornings work for your workout.<\/strong> Program your alarm with a song that will get you out of bed and moving, and don\u2019t allow yourself the luxury of hitting snooze. Program the thermostat to warm things up in the morning and put your workout clothes near the heater so they\u2019ll be cozy when you\u2019re ready to get into them. You might even consider sleeping in your workout clothes so you\u2019re ready to go when your feet hit the floor. Don\u2019t do this, though, if the act of putting on your exercise clothes gets you geared up to exercise!<\/li>\n<li><strong>If you\u2019d prefer, choose a different time of day. <\/strong>If evening works better for you to get moving, that\u2019s perfectly ok. If it\u2019s dark when you leave and when you get home, work out during your lunch break. Don\u2019t have time for a full workout and shower at lunch? Take a walk outside if the weather permits or inside if it doesn\u2019t.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Whenever you\u2019re working out, plan ahead to make it work<\/strong>. If you\u2019re exercising in the evening, change into workout clothes as soon as you get home from work. If mornings are your thing, pack your exercise bag with everything you\u2019ll need to make your workout successful. If you\u2019re working out at lunch, state your intention to someone so you\u2019ll have more pressure to follow through, or keep your fitness bag under your desk as a reminder.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Set the bar low.<\/strong> If you\u2019re having trouble getting motivated, make it your goal to get dressed and show up at the health club. Tell yourself that once you\u2019re there, you can leave as soon as you want to, even if you\u2019ve barely exercised. There\u2019s a good chance that once you\u2019re there and past that first hurdle, you\u2019ll be more inclined to keep going and actually work out.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Take a warm swim.<\/strong> If the cold weather is getting you down, hit the indoor pool and swim a few laps. Swimming is a great full body exercise and it\u2019s great for your mental health.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Focus on the mental health aspects of exercise.<\/strong> Sometimes, the physical benefits of exercise can take a while to become obvious. Exercising in winter, though, can help your mental health. Pay attention to how exercise lifts your mood and alleviates stress and you\u2019ll be inspired to keep going.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Exercise with other people.<\/strong> Whether it\u2019s an exercise buddy or a group, planning to work out together can apply some much needed social pressure. You\u2019re less likely to ditch the workout if people are waiting for you, and exercise partners can make working out more fun, providing camaraderie and a distraction from the cold.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>When you\u2019re trying to reach your fitness goals, a supportive environment can enhance the experience.
