The shorter days and colder weather make it even more tempting to crawl back under the duvet, hunker down with a hot toddy, or lie horizontal for hours on end (we’ve all been there).
But exercising throughout winter has many benefits. It supports your immune system, boosts your mood, and improves circulation – all of which can take a hit at this time of year.
So, if you need some extra help to see you through the colder months, we’ve got you covered. Here are five ways to keep you moving and feeling your best this winter.
Excuses can quickly pile up in winter: “It’s too cold”, “I’m too tired”, or “I just want to stay in bed”. So don’t rely on motivation alone; make things simple for yourself so you actually do it.
Want to work out in the morning? Forgo the fitness gear. Stay cosy and exercise in your pyjamas instead.
Want to build strength? Keep your dumbbells visible as a reminder to pick them up throughout the day.
Want to do more yoga? Roll out your mat and leave it ready whenever you have 5 minutes spare.
By keeping things easy and within reach, you remove the barriers to exercise that make getting started feel harder than it really is.
Winter has a way of making the mid-afternoon slump hit even harder, doesn’t it?
But moving on your lunch break can give you a much-needed energy boost and leave you feeling lifted for the rest of the day.
It doesn’t need to be long, either – a quick session on Mvmnt can work wonders for your winter morale. Plus, it’s a great way to break up the day and reset your focus.
When the warmth of the sofa (or bed!) is calling your name, making your workout space inviting becomes even more important during the colder months.
Dim the lights, throw on your comfiest workout gear, and take Mvmnt mobile to a quiet corner of your home.
By creating a space you actually enjoy being in, you’ll find it much easier to prioritise movement – even on those gloomy days.
Staying active doesn’t mean committing to longer sessions. Exercising little and often can be just as effective throughout the winter months.
Mvmnt has tons of short, sharp workouts you can squeeze in anytime – before a morning meeting, after the school run, or while dinner’s in the oven.
You can even take advantage of our 7-minute Daily Mvmnt sessions to boost your mood and energy any time of the day.
The prospect of a full 30-minute workout might feel daunting on a chilly winter day. So just start small.
Kick things off with a quick 10-minute session. Once you’ve warmed up, see if you’re ready for another short workout. Feeling good? Stack one more.
Before you know it, you’ll have clocked 30 minutes of activity without it feeling overwhelming.
Each small win fuels your motivation, helping you stay consistent on those colder days.
Mvmnt is home to hundreds of mood-boosting, energy-lifting sessions to help you beat the winter slump.
