Start Your Winter Fitness Plan Today!

Have you noticed some changes to your routine with the changes of the season's?

Any changes in moods or eating patterns?

How about energy levels or sleeping patterns?

If not careful this is a time of year when the Summer time health and fitness efforts can all go out the window!

You don't really want to have to start all over again in the Spring do you?

Good I thought not! Address this early – now, don't wait until something like Boxing Day to realise you've not done any training for the past 2 months.

Having said all that, it's probably no bad thing if you do change some things about your routine, but not if that leads to dropping it altogether.

You might decide to change the time of day that you exercise to better fit in with your moods, energy, levels of light, and other commitments.

You might decide to change your focus – lift more weights, or find some shorter but higher intensity sessions that challenge you with less time available for example.

You might need more sleep when you can get it – do you really need to watch rubbish on TV or surf the internet late so often?

All of these things just point towards you having options and adapting so that you make the most out of the training you do.

Now decide what you want – how do you want to be looking and feeling around that time of resolutions being made? What is it going to take to achieve that?

With some idea of a plan in mind you want to get this established as a routine before all those demands on your time risk taking over.

Use the next 3 to 4 weeks to establish some good habits that will have you looking and feeling great after the holiday's! I'd recommend starting a food and exercise diary if you are not doing so currently.

Keep an eye on any changes, write down what is really happening, and stay accountable to achieving the results you want.

Be an everyday athlete!
