Avoid The Winter Workout Rut
Fitness Magazine|July - August 2018

Do you use excuses to not pull, push and grind it out when the weather sucks?

Avoid The Winter Workout Rut

Are you struggling to find your mojo to lift when it’s cold? Training in the winter is not always easy, but it can be done. Here are six ways to stay motivated throughout the colder months:

#1 Get going with your favourite song

Starting your day with your favourite motivational song will definitely get you going. A tune that lifts your mood and energy, instead of the sound of an annoying alarm clock, will do wonders for your ability to get out of bed when it’s cold outside and stops the excuses from creeping in. So, whether it’s Katie Perry’s ‘Roar’ or Taylor Swift’s ‘Shake it off’ that gets you going, use it to your advantage to take on the day!

#2 Get a training buddy
