Daily Tip #13 - Excuses, excuses...

I don't know about where you are, but where I am, it's getting chilly. This is the time of year when I gaze into my crystal ball and see Winter Madeleine looking outside, considering going for a run, but instead putting on her ugg boots and drinking a mug of hot chocolate. Winter is when we all make excuses for not exercising, and let's face it, running in the cold/wind/rain is not pleasant. So, now is the time to start making contingency plans. Make a playlist of your favourite exercise tunes, and create a 30-40 min workout in your bedroom/lounge room. This can involve alternating sets of sit ups, push ups, star jumps, squats, lunges, skipping rope, or even the afore-mentioned booty dancing. Or, join a dance studio/gym/indoor sports centre to move your body without having to face the freeze. And there's nothing better than entering the brisk night air after you've got your sweat on, and going home to a warm bowl of soup and a hot shower. Prepare for Winter now - say no to hibernation.
