Get off the couch

07/07/2014

dressed

The cold mornings and evenings deter many from working out. We’ve all heard the excuses, “I’m tired”, “I’m lazy”, “I don’t have time” bla bla bla. The excuses are countless but never valid. I won’t lie, I can be lazy too. I’d rather sleep in in the mornings or curl up on the couch while catching up with my favourite shows.

Being indoors at home with endless amounts of exercises posted online, there’s no excuse to not gym at home with these tips.

Get dressed

Firstly change out of your clothes into comfy clothes that you can move around in. Think workout trainers, tracksuit pants and a top. Don’t forget the correct sports bra too.

Find your space

Have enough space to workout. If the sun is still out why not workout in your garden. If not make a space in your lounge.

Get a mat

Use a yoga mat (if you have or a towel) so that you can do your mat exercises in some comfort.

Get heavy

Buy a set of weights. Start off with 2kgs, if you’d like. It might seem light but when you doing the weight exercises it will hurt. Trust me!

Workout plan

Print out a set of exercises so that you know exactly what you doing. That way you won’t feel lost in what you’re doing. I like the fitness page on Pinterest and the Women’s Health online exercises.

Pump up the music

Select a playlist that will keep moving and motivated.

 

Let me know what tips you follow to keep fit during the cold weather.

About Me:

Hi I'm Nikita.

Welcome to my corner of the online sphere. A place where we can be honest about mothering while trying to juggle life as working moms. As mothers, we worry about losing our identity, so let's find out together. With eight years of experience as a wordsmith, I'm never at a loss of words but maybe that's my Portuguese heritage coming through.

So proud to be named one of Twinkl's Best Family Bloggers for 2023

My heart swelled at the sight of Adriana’s joy. My heart swelled at the sight of Adriana’s joy. 

She feels seen as a girl with T1D. 

With her CGM, and insulin pump. 

It’s one of the things that we work hard to instil in her, that she is “seen”, loved and that she should never feel embarrassed of her illness. 

It’s her superpower to educate others and advocate for T1D.

Tag fellow T1D warriors 💙
