We know how hard it can be to find the motivation to get out of bed and exercise, let alone in the winter when all you want to do is snuggle up under a warm blanket. However, it’s super important to stay active in the colder months and not give into the temptation of your cosy warm bed for these 3 reasons.
1. The sun is your friend
During winter, the sun can be hard to come by, so it's important that when the suns out you get outside and get moving! Sun exposure is the easiest way to get your source of vitamin D as there are only limited foods that can provide vitamin D. A quick 15-minute workout in the sun is plenty and if you’re wanting to stay outside longer, make sure to protect yourself with sunscreen. Our Summer Body Pack includes a FREE Summer Ready 4 Week Program that has full workout plan to keep you on track during winter!
2. Stop the winter blues
It can be difficult to stay motivated and positive during a cold, grey day but exercise is one of the best ways to improve mood and productivity. After exercise, your brain releases the chemicals serotonin and dopamine (also known as the “feel-good” chemical). This can help boost wellbeing, de-stress and reduce anxiety.
3. Strengthen your immune system
Working out regularly can boost your immunity. Colds and flu are common during the winter months, so it is important to exercise regularly to strengthen your immune system to fight off bacterial and viral infections. What you eat during the winter also contributes to your overall health and well-being. Make sure you are nourishing yourself with good food as we know cold weather goes hand in hand with unhealthy comfort food.
