Hands up those who have fallen off the fitness wagon already this winter? I know it’s not hard to do, let’s face it feels like the middle of the night at 5.30am and the doona is soo cosy. Evenings are just as uninviting and the natural tendency is to just get home and warm ourselves up with some comfort food!
Well, to be different you have to do different things and that means making the effort during these cooler months to stay in line with your values and goals around fitness. Remember everything is connected and healthy eating usually follows on from feeling good from working out and fuelling yourself properly.
So to perhaps kick start your motivation I have scoured the net and found some free online workouts you can complete at home, in your own time (and warmth) and when you’re done with these there are plenty more out there just like them.
