I don’t know about you, but this time of year is HARD for me.I’ve never been a fan of winter - I also live somewhere that gets super cold, so I look forward to warm weather and summer even more!I also know how difficult it can be to stay motivated during these cold, winter months. I personally struggle with seasonal depression, and sometimes that makes it even harder to want to commit to my fitness goals. If you can relate, today’s episode is for you!Thankfully, there are plenty of things you can do to help with motivation during the winter. One of the most helpful things you can do is plan ahead, and set clear goals during this time. Visualize what you want to look AND feel like in the upcoming spring and summer months, journal about it, and/or put it on your vision board!While I always recommend you follow a set workout plan/routine, this can be a great time to try some new + different workouts. Find a friend to work out with, too!Since you’re most likely inside more, this can be the perfect time to experiment with some new recipes, and even refresh + brighten up your workout space. I KNOW the cold weather makes it harder to stay active. Motivation can for SURE be a struggle, but at the end of the day, this is your health, and your LIFE. This shit is NOT optional, so you need to figure out a plan for your fitness, and take action. You’ll be sooo glad you did when warmer weather arrives!!In this episode, we cover:My ongoing struggle with seasonal depressionTips to help you with ‘finding’ motivation during the cold, winter monthsChanging up your workout routine + trying different workouts that interest youExperimenting with fun + creative recipes at homeHow to stay focused on your long-term goalsRefreshing + ‘brightening up’ your workout spaceLinks/Resources:Listen to the Sol Fit PodcastEp. 138 | How to Reward Yourself on Your Fitness JourneyJoin FIT CLUB, my monthly membership with workouts you can do at home or the gymPRIVATE COACHING is my 1:1 program (choose 3 or 6 month option)Connect with me on Instagram @kristycastillofit and @unfuckyourfitnesspodcast so we can keep this conversation going-be sure to tag me in your posts and stories!Join my FREE Facebook group, Unf*ck Your FitnessClick HERE for my favorite fitness & life things!Send me a text with episode ideas or just to say hi!
