Exercising during winter can be a challenge. The cold weather and shorter days can make it difficult to stay motivated and continue with a regular exercise routine. But maintaining an exercise routine is crucial for weight loss and overall health. LC Foods can help fuel your body with low carb, high protein foods. If you’re looking for ways to stay active during the winter months, here are some tips that can help you get started:
Consider Joining a Gym
Many gyms are running super specials this time of year. Some even have trial memberships so you can check them out to see if it’s a space you feel comfortable in and meets your needs to accomplish your fitness goals.
Exercise at Home
There are plenty of exercises you can do in the comfort of your own home, and don’t require any special equipment. Yoga, crunches, lunges, jumping jacks, burpees…the list goes on! These exercises can help you keep your heart rate up and maintain your fitness levels without exposing yourself to the harsh winter weather.
Bonus Tip #1: Try to set realistic goals that you can achieve and feel great about when you do achieve them.
Bundle Up and Head Outside!
If you prefer outdoor activities, be sure to dress appropriately for the weather. Wear layers that can be easily removed as you warm up and choose fabrics that wick moisture away from your body to keep you dry and comfortable, and get ready to burn some serious calories!
Bonus Tip #2: We’ve all made excuses, but we know that we feel better after a great workout; both physically and mentally. Prioritize!
Get a Workout Buddy
Find a friend or family member who shares your fitness goals and workout with them. Having a workout buddy can help you stay accountable and motivated, even on the coldest and darkest days.
Refuel Your Body
After your workout, it’s best to cool down with stretches to ease yourself out of strenuous activity. Choose high quality, low carb, high protein foods to refuel and help build/repair muscle.
