Your 10 step
winter survival guide
Just because it is winter doesn’t mean that you will need to
fall off the fitness wagon. With some careful planning and focus on your long
term summer goal (yes, it is what you do now that you reveal when the weather
warms up) there is no need to miss a beat this winter
So let’s tackle this tricky topic with 10 sure-fire plateau
busters!
1 – Motivation: I admit
it is hard to stay motivated when you have no direction and no reward for your
efforts. Nothing will derail success faster than not getting a reward and you
know nothing is more motivating then getting the results you are striving for.
2 – Goal
setting: As per motivation, you need to have a goal. Most of us want
to look our best when the warmer months arrive and it is time to strip the
layers off. And do you realize that your success in summer comes down to what
you do in winter? Focus on a summer goal, and devise a winter plan to see you
achieve that goal.
3 –
Expectations: Just like the goals and staying motivated, what
do you expect for your efforts this winter? Don’t let season dictate how great
you are or what you are truly capable of achieving!
4 – Comfort
foods: I admit, a warm pie in winter really hits the spot. Remember
though, comfort foods don’t need to be fat-laden, carbohydrate-based juggernaut
for missed rewards. Be cautious of the ingredients you use and also the volume
in which you consume. Just because it is winter doesn’t mean you need to eat enough
pie to feed a family!
5 – Comfort
drinks: As a pie warms the belly, so does the large café mocha with
extra cream! Remember that calories do add up through the consumption of
liquids too.
6 – Its
cold and dark: If it is cold and dark and you either don’t want
too, or can’t get motivated to exercise in the dark, then don’t. Make sure you
select a time and location that will work for you and not against. It will be
easy to miss a session if you can find a plausible excuse not to go.
7
– I’m too lazy: Now look, if you really ‘are’ that lazy then no one will be
able to help you. But, are you just using the lazy excuse as that; an excuse
for poor planning, lack of direction, no goals and minimal expectations? Invest
some time into what you really want to achieve and the success that deep down,
you really want.
8
– Share the plan with family: Share your fitness goals with your family and the
people that are close to you. With a broad support network, you know that they
will be more than happy to ‘motivate’ you when you need it the most and who
knows, they themselves may want to join in the fun.
9
– Do it with a friend: If the idea of training by yourself really isn’t
that appealing, then train with a friend. This way you will be able to motivate
each other to keep improving, and you will be able to share in your results
with a like-minded accomplice.
10 – …and
above all else, just do it! Now look, I know it can be hard but
sometimes, you just need to get the job done. It may be hard to get up in the
morning, but we still do to go to work, school, other commitments etc and this
is no different. In fact, it actually IS different. This is something that is
going to directly benefit your health and your vitality. You know that with
regular exercise you will be able to face winter head on and cruise into the
warmer months a happier and healthier you!
Keep your eye open for The Rapid Fat Loss Challenge that we
have starting at the end of this month, we will be making its official launch this
weekend at the Health and Wellness EXPO at the SS&A on Saturday. We are going
to ‘melt some fat’ that’s for sure…
