As the temperature gets colder, you may begin to look for more reasons to stay indoors and forgo the gym. When you’re trying to stay physically fit, this approach can take a hit to your health goals. Below are a few ways you can stay motivated this holiday and winter season, and meet spring still looking and feeling good.  

Your Guide to Staying Fit Throughout the Winter

1. Take the Workout Indoors

Frigid temperatures might keep you from exercising outside, but there are so many activities that can be completed indoors. Sign up for spin, cycling, or yoga classes at your gym. See if they offer dance classes, as many instructors often tailor dances to strengthen different parts of the body for a high-cardio, yet fun workout. 

2. Find a Partner

Setting dates with them to exercise will keep you from sliding off track. Having a buddy is also a good way to liven up the activity with socialization and competition. They can also make you feel more confident about trying new classes or exercises.

3. Change Up Your Routine

A repetitive daily workout can get dull, making you want to put off exercising during the winter. Give yourself something to look forward to by taking advantage of the winter weather. Sign up for a time-limited activity, like skiing, ice skating, or snowboarding. These activities can count toward your daily workout routine. You could also swap from working out in the evenings when it’s already dark out to the mornings when the sun is coming up to keep you motivated. This change will help wake you up and get you ready to start your day.
