It's that time of year again - winter is rolling in. While we might not have snow to contend with, staying active and healthy can feel like a bit of a mission when temperatures drop.
But fear not, we've got some practical tips to help you stay active and fit through the colder months!
Bring the outdoors indoors
When the weather is less than inviting, bring your workout inside. YouTube is packed with fitness gurus offering everything from yoga flows to dance cardio routines you can do in the comfort of your own living room. Just clear some space and get moving.
Get your game on
Embrace your competitive side. Round up your family or friends for a friendly game of indoor sports such as netball, basketball, or the Kiwi classic game of touch (minus the muddy field). It's a great way to stay active while having a laugh with your crew.
Indoor swimming
Head to your local indoor pool for a swim session. Whether you're doing laps or just splashing around, swimming is a fantastic full-body workout. Plus, it kind of feels like you're on holiday without leaving town!
Get vertical
If you need a challenge, head to an indoor rock climbing facility. Climbing is not only a great workout for your muscles but also tests your problem-solving skills.
Run wild
If you don't mind the cold and the winter elements, hit the trails for a run. Enjoy the scenery and connect with nature while getting your cardio fix. Just watch out for muddy patches and wear appropriate gear for wet or cold weather.
Stay hydrated
No matter how you choose to stay active this winter, remember to hydrate and fuel your body. Keep a water bottle handy and sip throughout the day to stay energised and focused. Your body will thank you!
