The Winter Weight Loss Challenge: How to Stay Active and Burn Calories When It’s Cold Outside
Winter can make staying active a challenge, but it’s also a great time to jumpstart your weight loss journey. Here’s how you can keep moving, stay motivated, and shed pounds, even when the weather doesn’t cooperate.
1. Make Your Home Your Gym
You don’t need expensive equipment to stay fit at home. Try:
- Bodyweight exercises like squats, lunges, and push-ups.
- Following free workout videos for yoga, Pilates, or HIIT routines.
- Everyone now has access to Milton. If you are interested, send me a message and I will send an invite!
2. Layer Up and Embrace the Outdoors
Don’t let the cold keep you inside! Staying active outdoors burns more calories as your body works to stay warm. Tips include:
- Dressing in layers to trap heat while you walk, run, or hike.
- Opting for activities like sledding or ice skating for fun calorie-burning workouts. If you’re like me and these suggestions sound miserable, throw on some walking shoes and go walking in Town West or window shopping for a mile or two indoors.
3. Focus on Nutrition
Winter cravings can lead to comfort food overload. Combat this by:
- Meal prepping healthy soups, stews, and roasted vegetables.
- Drinking plenty of water to stay hydrated and curb false hunger cues.
Winter can be a time for transformation. By staying active and making smart choices, you’ll feel healthier and stronger when spring arrives.
