1. Avoid winter weight gain - In the colder months it is so easy to turn to comfort food, because its so satisfying and it makes us feel good, well for a little anyway, and then we feel guilty. Its so easy to become a hibernating bear! No wonder it’s known as the ‘winter weight gain’ period. The average person puts on up to 4 kg! The only way to make up for those added treats is to increase the amount of exercise you’re doing. Try and balance your energy in and energy out the...n the shedding of clothes in spring wont be such a shock!
2. Keep warm - Save electricity and an expanding waistline by heating your body up naturally with a workout. The rise in your body temperature, during a work out, has a soothing, calming effect on your body, not unlike a long soak in a warm bath or lying in front of the heater.
3. Stay healthy - Research has shown time and again that regular exercise strengthens your immune system so it can fight off bacterial and viral infections. This becomes particularly important in winter when colds and flu rear their ugly heads.
4. Beat the winter blues - Whether it’s the usual winter blues or the more serious SAD (seasonal affective disorder) putting a gloom over the colder months. A daily workout releases feel-good, de-stress brain chemicals, gives you a break from the daily grind and helps ease depression.
5. Detox your lungs - being cooped up with nothing but your central heating to keep the air moving means fresh air is much harder to come by in winter! Exercising gives your lungs a chance to breathe more deeply detox.
6. Be social - Try a new group fitness class, or workout with your buddies. It's more fun, and increases your chances of reaching your goals. It's a great way to keep you motivated. Exercise with someone around the same fitness level as you so you can spur each other on.
