Geeze it’s been cold these last few mornings.
It’s the kind of weather that makes you second guess getting up and going to the gym.
You would rather hit the snooze, tuck the cover in tighter and roll over and keep sleeping.
Well you know what… that’s fine.
Unless you are training for a marathon or a competition take that extra sleep, but make sure you plan to use it in the arvo or a bit later on. The cold is no excuse not to exercise because you can be excused for not wanting to get out and brave the cold.
However if the morning is your only time you can exercise here are my top tips for breaking free of the clutches of your warm comforting bed.
1. If you have a air con or heater system that has a timer, set the system to come on 15 minutes before you are set to get up. This way you are not jumping out into the freezing cold kitchen to make a coffee.
2. Have a warm drink. Don’t have a huge cup just enough to warm your cockles a little. A black coffee or milo would do.
3. have slippers and a beanie ready. Two very easy body warmth loss, hot spots, are your head and feet. Keep these warm and you won’t feel so cold. By the time you make it to the gym you will be taking the beanie off before you walk in or into your first set.
Cold you have a grip my friend, but do you even LIFT?!
