May has been a magical month to train outdoors, however with winter approaching it is inevitable that it will get a little harder to roll out of bed and get psyched for your session in the dark. Alas, we have pulled together a mini toolkit of ways to help you stay motivated through the woolly months and keep your eyes on the prize (SUMMER of course!) 

 

 

1.

Set a goal for the end of winter- a training event, weight loss, physical achievement- break it down into monthly and weekly mini-goals. Write them down, pin them somewhere you'll look at them daily and make it happen

 

2.

Dress appropriately - There is no such things as bad weather only a bad choice in clothing

 

3.

Get an alarm clock you like waking up to. Throughout summer we tend to wake to our alarms easier knowing it is light and bright outside. Find an alarm that makes you smile or laugh to wake up to each day. It could be a serene sound or an ironic song

4.

​Have a warm water with lemon and ginger to warm your insides and kick start your system (as well as hydrate you pre training)

 

5.

Buddy up- with your trainer or someone in your klik to make sure you skip the lame excuses

 

6.

Mix it up- if winter gets the better of you, chose 1 day a week to take the indoor option- yoga and pilates- your body will thank you for it

 

7.

Create a fun reward for the end of winter- put $2 coin a day into a jar for every session you do in winter and then buy yourself something nice at the end (Remember you only have 90 days in winter so you need to work hard to create a decent collection

 

8.

Change your mindset- You're either wet from the rain or wet from the sweat- what's the difference? Warm up appropriately, train hard and go home satisfied knowing you've done your bit whilst most people are still in bed

 

9.

Laugh it off- the wild, wintery woolly days will test your patience- laugh in the face of winter and keep telling yourself we live in Australia not Iceland

 

10.

Look forward to your hot shower at the end of it. It cures everything!

 

Find your inner Winter Warrior and remind yourself daily of our warrior mantra

‘Summer Bodies are Forged in Winter!’
