Winter's coming

... and if you don't want to end up gaining that extra layer of blubber over the next few months, then consider the following benefits or exercising and staying healthy over winter. Yes, sometimes it is hard to find the motivation, particularly if you wake up to a slight sound of rain, or you're still snug and warm under your doona..but did you think of this?

-Training in winter means there are less people, you’ll have more space to exercise yourself - particularly outside.
-If you train in the morning before work you get to enjoy the first rays of sun as dawn breaks. This can mean the most beautiful pink skies.
-If exercising in the morning just doesn't do it for you (and some people are NOT morning people - as my husband can attest...) Then how about training in your lunch break since the temperature is much milder and you don't have to contend with the heat of summer!
- More than likely, most other people are going to be facing the same struggles (and letting the lure of extra layers of clothes lull them into a false sense of security) - so you will no doubt get to reap the benefits of the peaceful empty parks and streets.
- and the best reason of all is that you will have a 6 month head start on your summer beach body. Nobody else will even think about starting on until at least September or October!

There are so many benefits of staying active over the winter period. If this hasn't provided you with the kickstart you need, then organise some personal training, or join in our 12 week fitness challenge (last intake on 1 June - finishing in time for Spring!) and come and exercise with all the other people whose exercise doesn't stop just because it a little cold and wet outside.
