Make a Winter’s Resolution
Two of the most common fitness advertisements are:
“Make your new years fitness resolutions now” End of December, start of January.
or
“Get in shape now for Summer” September, October, November.
Both of these statements are good because they encourage people to look after their health. But really, it is far more important to be healthy all year round!
One of the hardest times to stay fit, healthy and in general good shape is Winter.
Why is that?
Well let’s have a think about it…
*It’s cold in Winter, bed is far more appealing.
*It’s cold in Winter, comfort food dominates our diet.
*It’s cold in Winter, we wear so many layers, we forget what we look like under all those clothes.
*It’s cold in Winter, Summer is a long way away, which means bikinis and board shorts seem like forever away.
But then…..
The weather warms up, we see the ads.
Get in shape now for Summer!!! We freak out and decide to embark on a new and exciting diet and fitness regimen. Summer comes, we left our run too late, it now becomes a new years resolution, we try another fad diet and the next fitness regimen that will work better than the last…
Need I go on?
I think you get it.
This year, next year and every year after that, make a Winter’s resolution. Yes it’s a little colder, yes it’s a little darker out, but yes it is a necessary part of a healthy balanced life to be fit and healthy all year round!
