WI N T ER WORKOU T MO T I VA T I ON
Spring arrives on March 19 this year, but it may be a few weeks more before we begin to enjoy sunny, warm weather here in Virginia. The colder, rainy conditions can make it harder to work out and reach your fitness goals, but staying motivated in this last stretch of winter will allow you to enjoy your spring and summer to the fullest. Here are some ways you can maintain the drive to stay in shape before spring arrives. Mornings can be cold during the winter and early spring months, and the temperature can make it seem like staying in bed is the better option over working out. To stay motivated, it’s best to do everything you can to set yourself up for success in advance. Start with adjusting your thermostat up a bit higher the night before. This way, you’re not as hesitant to get in that early morning run. It also helps to put your running clothes near your heater so they’re warm and ready for your morning jog.
If any of your friends or family members love to work out, invite them with you! Having a workout buddy is a foolproof way to stay on track because you can’t bail or make an easy excuse for yourself. Plus, it gives you something to look forward to, and having someone to talk to during a run or in between reps will make the hour fly by. As you begin your winter workout journey, share your progress and goals on social media or with your friends. Like sharing your New Year’s resolutions with family members, your friends and followers will hold you accountable to your workout schedule and the progress you’ve made. Do you have any helpful tips or tricks to stay in shape? Let me know next time you’re in the office! I’m always looking for new ways to keep up my workout routine from December to April.
