What Are Your Fitness Needs?
As we go about our busy lives, our fitness needs do not often
come to mind. In fact, probably the only thought that is given
to our fitness needs relates to the 15 pounds we think we need
to lose. But even when we are fairly fit, we have needs...

Tips For Winter Wellness
1. Go for a walk even when the weather is really cold - your
body has to work overtime to get warm and you may burn up to 50%
more calories than you would on the same walk in summer! But
remember, go a little slower until you get warm and keep up the
hydration.
2. If you find it hard to get motivated to exercise in
winter...just think of spring and how much harder it is to get
back into shape rather than maintain your fitness throughout the
winter.
3. Be aware of tendonitis and stress fracture if you don't
exercise in winter and expect to pick up where you left off
after a whole winter with no exercise.
4. Instead of picking up a cup of hot chocolate to keep yourself
warm, try a herbal beverage.
5. Gain an interest in indoor sports as opposed to cycling and
jogging outdoors. Don't forget that swimming at an indoor pool
is an option for a great cardio workout!
6. The cold air and indoor heaters can dry out your skin. Make
sure you drink at least 8 glasses of water each day and use
moisturizers throughout winter.
7. Buy some indoor plants to soften up the dry atmosphere caused
through heating. Indoor plants give off moisture and oxygen and
the
colours will brighten up a dull day outside.
8. Caught a cold or flu? If the infection is above the neck
(nose, throat) you could be OK to complete a low intensity
workout. However, if you have symptoms that are worse than an
average cold (chest congestion, muscle aches), exercise will
only make you worse and delay your recovery. Rest is the best
medicine.
9. Wear the right clothes when exercising in winter.
Polypropylene is the perfect fabric to wear underneath a
tracksuit, which will provide great insulation but minimise
moisture loss. Gore-Tex is a fabric used widely for providing
protection from the rain and wind.
10. Feel like sitting on the couch with a video and snacking on
a cold, wet day? Reach for a protein bar or packet of soy nuts
instead of high energy, high fat snacks.
