Ten Tips For Winter Wellness
1. Go for a walk even when the weather is really cold your body has to work overtime to get warm and you may burn up to 50 more calories than you would on the same walk in summer! But remember, go a little slower until you get warm and keep up the hydration.2. If you find it hard to get motivated to exercise in winterjust think of spring and how much harder it is to get back into shape rather than maintain your fitness throughout the winter.3. Be aware of tendonitis and stress fracture if you dont exercise in winter and expect to pick up where you left off after a whole winter with no exercise.4. Instead of picking up a cup of hot chocolate to keep yourself warm, try a herbal beverage.5. Gain an interest in indoor sports as opposed to cycling and jogging outdoors. Dont forget that swimming at an indoor pool is an option for a great cardio workout!6. The cold air and indoor heaters can dry out your skin. Make sure you drink at least 8 glasses of water each day and use moisturizers throughout winter.7. Buy some indoor plants to soften up the dry atmosphere caused through heating. Indoor plants give off moisture and oxygen and the colours will brighten up a dull day outside.8. Caught a cold or flu If the infection is above the neck nose, throat you could be OK to complete a low intensity workout. However, if you have symptoms that are worse than an average cold chest congestion, muscle aches, exercise will only make you worse and delay your recovery. Rest is the best medicine.9. Wear the right clothes when exercising in winter. Polypropylene is the perfect fabric to wear underneath a tracksuit, which will provide great insulation but minimise moisture loss. GoreTex is a fabric used widely for providing protection from the rain and wind.10. Feel like sitting on the couch with a video and snacking on a cold, wet day Reach for a protein bar or packet of soy nuts instead of high energy, high fat snacks.
