]]> With the colder weather, finding the motivation to get up and move your body can be increasingly harder. If running is still your preferred go-to workout, try wearing a wool headband, hat, beanie, gloves, and scarf. It’s easy to tuck them into your pockets if you get too hot. However, if leaving the house is not an option, try these three easy at-home workouts this winter. 

Jump Rope 

Jumping rope is a great cardio exercise you can do in the comfort of your home. Jumping rope is a great way to raise your heart rate quickly. If you jump for 30 minutes, you are guaranteed to be sweating. 

Boxing

Boxing or kickboxing might come as a surprise, but it’s a great workout to increase your heart rate quickly. While you may not have a punching bag or gloves, doing the movements is still a workout.

Yoga

With the colder weather, it’s common for your muscles to tense up making you feel like an un-oiled tin man. Practicing yoga is an excellent workout in the morning to help stretch your muscles and help you think loser in cold weather.

]]> Getting to the gym in the dead of the winter can be really hard—your motivation is probably dwindling, warm-ups take longer as your bones are cold, and the idea of showering after leaves you shivering. But now it’s all about the snow and finding ways to keep warm. It’s still important to have fun. Of course, winter means skiing, but there are other activities you can do in the cold or snow to keep you strong and fit.

Ice Skating

This is no longer a kid’s activity, it is a great glute and core workout and gets your heart rate up quickly, keeping you warm on the ice. All you need is an ice rink near you, some rented ice skates and off you go. Find someone to teach you some tricks.

Snowboarding

Snowboarding is the best winter sport for your legs and abs, you can burn up to 500 calories an hour on the snow. Your obliques will be on fire every time you shift positions.

Running

Just because it is cold and snowy does not mean you have to give up on your outdoor runs. The sportswear giants have amazing clothes to keep you warm when you are running outside. Think of long-sleeved thermal wear, insulated jackets, and warm leggings. There are even running shoes with spikes to help you to run in the snowy terrain.

]]> Staying motivated to work out is more difficult during cold winter months, especially when it’s snowing outside. If you feel like staying in your bed under a warm blanket instead of working out on a snowy day, here are some of the best ways to get motivated to work out.

Indoor Workouts

Snow shouldn’t stop you from working out since you can always do it indoors. Hitting the gym is still an option, no matter how cold it is outside. Snow also shouldn’t stop you from training in the comfort of your home if you don’t feel like driving to the gym.

Fun Activities

Working out at home requires an even bigger motivational boost than gym workouts. If you’re struggling to get out of bed and start working out, ditch a traditional workout for a fun one. Dance cardio workouts will get you in a better mood and burn some major calories along the way. If you’re into winter sports, you can also put snowy days to some good use by practicing them.

Perfect Timing

If you want to take a walk or work out outside, no matter how cold, make sure to schedule your workouts around the weather forecast. Look for the time in the day when it’s not snowing or raining, and head out around that time whenever possible.

]]> The cold and dark winter months can pose quite a challenge to our workout routines. Slippery surfaces, freezing temperatures, and long nights can really take their toll—but that’s why beating the odds feels all the more satisfying.

Once you manage to break a sweat, you’ll forget about the cold in no time. If your workout routine has suffered so far this icy season, try out these winter-friendly workouts that’ll warm your body right up!

Indoor Climbing

Fitness centers near you will often have large walls suited for climbing. These are great for working out your whole body and maintaining peak fitness levels throughout the winter months. They are great for the core, the arms, balance, and coordination as well.

Swimming

Another great workout for your whole body is swimming at your local pool. While it’s usually too cold to run in the ice and snow, you can take refuge in a nice warm pool with perfect conditions for swimming. This not only strengthens and tones the entire body but it also improves mental health.

Yoga

Alongside swimming, yoga is also a powerful exercise for strengthening the mind and body. You can practice from within the comfort of your own home, and you can also use meditation apps such as Headspace to guide you through it.

Dryness causes cracked lips, dry mouth, and an icy feeling in the lungs. And with these tips, you can say goodbye to winter dryness and stay hydrated.

Rethink Your Gear

Just because you’re not sweating as much in the winter doesn’t mean you won’t get dehydrated as quickly. But, you can actually lose up to a liter of water per hour during a workout. To combat this, start by wearing moisture-wicking fabrics.

Treat Your Skin

In addition to gearing up, make sure you also have lip balm for chapped and cracked lips. There’s nothing more uncomfortable than lips that burn.

Hydrate

While working out in the winter, take frequent water breaks even if you’re not thirsty because you still sweat and lose water. Bring a water bottle with you any time you workout.

Home Gear

After your workout, the side effects of dryness continue, so get a humidifier to bring moisture back into your home.

]]> Cold and gloomy days are upon us, and it will be more difficult than ever to stay committed to our fitness routines. Bad weather can have a negative effect on our emotional wellbeing, but you can use these strategies to pull through and find motivation for your cold weather workouts.

Have a Plan

Scheduling your workouts is a good way to make sure you’ll actually stick to them. If you’re working out outdoors, check the weather forecast one week in advance, use mild temperatures to your advantage, and plan your workouts around them.

Keep it Simple

Working out doesn’t mean you should be pushing yourself to the limits if your body can’t take it. Instead of doing what you think you should, do what feels right at the moment. Opt for activities that you enjoy, do short workouts, and take things slow if you can’t do it any other way.

Stay Indoors

Don’t use the bad weather as an excuse to skip your workouts. If it’s raining outside or if it’s too windy for a run, you can still work out indoors. There are countless amazing fitness videos you can find online, and some of them even allow you to work out to your favorite songs.
