As I am typing this, the weather outside is gray. It has been raining and it is thinking about raining more. (When I post this, it could be fabulously sunny, but gray will return at some point this winter, I’m sure.) This kind of weather can cause our spirits to dip. I have a couple of fitness suggestions that may help.
First, get in some cardio. We need the mood-boosting power of heavy breathing on gray days more than ever! It can be extra hard to get out of the nice warm bed to get started, so get creative with the bribes if needed. The effects are actually worth it. I promise.
Second, when possible, get outside, even if it is yucky. Somebody said that there is no bad weather, just bad gear and they have a point. A warm and waterproof jacket can make the difference between misery and adventure. Wellies (maybe even silly, bright-colored ones!) can turn a squelching death march into a splashing fun-fest. We need natural light and fresh air.
Bonus points for combining cardio with outside.
Go play.
