It is a tough ride in chilly winters as it is not easy to leave our cozy and warm blankets on a chilly winter morning and go for a walk or head to your gym. At this time, we all tend to forget our workout and fitness priorities just for the sake of sleeping an extra hour. Doing this once a week is something else but making it a habit is disastrous! It can sabotage your fitness and weightless goals.
So what do you do to stay motivated? We reveal 4 ways to stay motivated to workout during the winter season.
1. Change the Place of Exercise
It makes a difference, so try and do your workout indoors to save yourself from winter chill. The point is to "Not to miss your workout". To stay active, you don't always need complicated equipment. The primary agenda is to move your body, burn calories and tone your muscles. You can do Yoga, mat Pilates and can even try simple exercises using a chair in your house.
2. Take Up New Activities
Repeating the same exercises everyday can be boring and it will make it difficult for you to stay motivated. To break the monotony, sign up for new activities. Join dance or martial arts classes do keep the spark alive. You can enroll in marathons or cycling events being held in your city.
3. Write Down Why You are Doing This
This makes an impact as it helps you remember the cause behind your efforts. The key rule to stay motivated is to write it down. According to psychologists, it is easier to stay motivated if you write down your goals and reason - why you are still doing it on a piece of paper. Keep it near your bed where you can see it easily as soon as you open your eyes in the morning.
4. Join a Friend
Your friend and companion might also help to keep you stay motivated. It is easier to push through the tough grind when you have your friends backing your goal and pushing you everyday to be fit and active. Join gym with your partner or friends and notice the difference! You are most likely not to skip any of your workout days when you are motivated by your companion.
Despite all the efforts you make to stay motivated, in the end what really counts is your will power to reach your fitness goal. Utilize winter time as a metamorphosis towards a fitter and better looking you. Surprise yourself to fit better in your summer dresses instead of binging inside blankets and growing out of shape. Keep yourself warm with activity and exercise along with right nutrition. For keeping yourself warm have green tea, black coffee, variety of nutritious soups, nuts and dry fruits.
