Ways to Stay Active This Winter
It's officially winter in the northeast!
You may be thinking about the months ahead and get a knot in your stomach.
The winter plus the holidays can be a potent combination for weight gain. So what are you doing to do about it this year?
It’s ok to have excuses but what’s your solution going to be?
We get it. It’s easy when the walls feel like they’re starting to close in to panic!
Take a deep breath. If you’re looking for inspiration look at other role models you can follow. Do you wish you were more comfortable walking outside? What’s stopping you? Warmer clothes? It’s the holiday season isn’t it? Get them on sale or ask someone to get you something!
That’s just one example but there are plenty more. You can:
Make your life more inefficient and get more steps during the day (go to the third floor bathroom instead of the one near your work space).
Make time to exercise. 30 minutes to an hour a few times a week will make a big difference in your mood and how your clothes fit.
Hit a strict steps goal each day. Determine what you get now using some kind of tracker then steadily increase your target until you get to 7,000+ steps/day.
These are just some of the tactics we lay out for our listeners in episode 7 of The Fit Source Podcast!
