According to research the average person will gain anywhere from 5-7 pounds during the winter months. These extra pounds are mostly caused by eating a little more (especially during holiday months) and slowing down on physical activity simply because its too cold.
This winter, I encourage anyone that's striving for better health/fitness to do the complete opposite of what you been doing every other year.......
DO NOT stop exercising simply because its too cold. Go to the gym or If you cant make it to the gym, purchase some step boxes or find an area in your home and jog in place. Something is better than nothing.
DO NOT spend all your time with individuals that aren't concerned with their own health/fitness....unless you are trying to get them into shape. As the old saying goes, "He who walks with the wise, becomes wise". And we will become like the people we are around the most.
DO NOT and I repeat......."DO NOT" eat like a madman/woman and then make a New Years resolution!!! Research shows that by the end of January, a third of the individuals that have made "diet resolution" will have
broken their resolutions, and by July more than half will have lapsed.
Eating healthy and exercising is a LIFESTYLE..........and to be honest the "work" is never complete, no matter what goal is accomplished!!
