Winter Workouts
Winter has a funny way of messing with our motivation. The alarm goes off, it’s still dark outside, and the last thing you want to do is peel yourself out of a warm bed to move your body. Suddenly, “I’ll start again in spring” feels like a very reasonable life plan. Spoiler alert: it’s not. Winter isn’t the season that ruins fitness goals—inconsistency is. And while colder temperatures may change how you move, they don’t get a free pass to stop you from moving altogether. If anything, winter is the season when movement matters most. Winter Fitness Is a Mindset Game Let’s be honest—winter workouts aren’t about chasing personal records or rocking crop tops at the gym. They’re about showing up when it’s inconvenient. Motivation comes and goes, especially when daylight is scarce and your couch is calling your name. This is where routine beats motivation every time. Pick a realistic schedule and stick to it, even if the workouts are shorter or less intense than your summer sessions. Something is always better than nothing. You don’t need to “go hard” all winter—you just need to keep going.

No commute, no weather excuses, no time wasted talking yourself out of it. Even…
