Lazy Day Blues

Ugh!  This weather is depressing!  As I was just feeling frustrated about low DanceFIT attendance when it rains (we have had such large crowds the past few weeks!), my friend sent me an e-mail...Gina, can you please blog about how to be motivated to workout when the weather is terrible?

Why are we so accustomed to lounging on the couch during dreary weather?  Is it a comfort thing?  Does it really affect us that much?   What can you do to boost out of those blues!? What happened to our "child-like" excitement of splashing in puddles and running in the rain?!

A FEW MOTIVATING TIPS:


1) E-mail or call a friend to go workout with you after work.  Peer motivation

2) Pre-register yourself for a class! Once you commit, you commit :)

3) Remind yourself why you are working out.  To look & feel beautiful & energized, of course!

4) Plan a creative and new post-workout healthy snack. (I love natural peanut butter on a banana or apple. Perfect amount of sweet & salty and good protein.)


5)  Remind yourself how great you feel when you stay committed to your fitness routine!  One night off can result in loss of fitness momentum. 


6) I like this little challenge....Every rainy or gross day, commit to trying a new fitness class that day.  Go to something a little bit out of your comfort zone.  Challenging new muscles & performing new movements will keep your body in perfect physique!!!

7) My newest solution & responsible answer to these lazy day blues would be to enroll in a Virtual Barre class offered at www.dancefitstudio.com OR

Enjoy a well planned, unique, intense barre workout with me or Tanya :)

Don't let the puddles keep you on the couch!!!
