Dark winter evenings sapping your motivation? Here are some tips to keep your fitness regime on track.<\/h3>\n

You\u2019re going to the gym this evening. As soon as you finish work, you\u2019ll go straight there and then head home afterwards. Actually, maybe you\u2019ll nip home first to get changed. And grab a bite to eat. While you catch up on a little TV. Damn, this sofa\u2019s comfy. Ah well, the gym will still be there tomorrow won\u2019t it?<\/p>\n

Winter nights can play havoc with your fitness plans. When it\u2019s cold and wet and all you want to do is curl up somewhere warm, it\u2019s easy to find your willpower on the floor (next to your gym bag). So how do you keep things on track?<\/p>\n

Here are our tips for giving your motivation a helping hand this season.<\/p>\n


\n1. Plan ahead. Get everything ready<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s the going home first that\u2019s the stumbling block isn\u2019t it? Don\u2019t give the comforts of home a chance to get in the way of your routine. Make a definite plan to go to the gym straight after work. Prep your bag the evening before, then leave it by the door so you don\u2019t forget it on your way out next morning.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2. Be kind with your goals<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s easy for a Christmas of overindulgence to leave you feeling guilty. The problem with that is it can nudge you towards setting the most punishing goals of the year at a time when you\u2019re at lowest level of fitness motivation.<\/p>\n

So go (relatively) easy. Be kind with your goals. Take a moment to realise just how good you feel after a session and remember the only person who\u2019s judging is you. Give yourself a break and take the time you need to get up to speed in the new year.<\/p>\n


\n3. Ask for a little help<\/strong><\/p>\n

Most of the time you\u2019re happy doing your own thing at the gym. You set your own targets and, generally speaking, you pretty much hit them. That\u2019s why, most of the time, you don\u2019t feel the need for a personal trainer. That\u2019s fine.<\/p>\n

Winter, though, is a great time to think about your goals, fitness levels and lifestyle and make sure your gym routine is still delivering for your ambitions. A personal trainer can help you with that. They\u2019ll help you review where you\u2019re at, check whether your routine is doing what you want it to and, if you need a bit of a reset, they\u2019ll help you achieve it.<\/p>\n

Perhaps most importantly for a gloomy winter night, new goals and a friendly PT can help motivate you too.<\/p>\n

\n4. Shake up the routine<\/strong><\/p>\n

The problem with fitness routines is they can feel a bit, well, routine. That can make it more of a challenge to work up the enthusiasm to hit the gym. Shake yourself out of that mindset by shaking up your fitness week. Try a new class to give you a fresh burst of energy and willpower.<\/p>\n

There are classes every day of the week, including Pilates, Zumba, Glo Spin, Bootcamps, Piloxing, Boxercise and loads more. Explore the full timetable at Glo Gym here<\/a>. And if you\u2019re unsure which class would be best for you, just ask.<\/p>\n


\n5. Bring a friend<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nothing motivates more than exercising together. Research shows hitting the gym with a friend is more likely to:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Motivate you to stick to your commitments
\n\u2022 Create some friendly competition
\n\u2022 Encourage you to work harder
\n\u2022 Help you achieve your goals<\/p>\n

Perhaps most importantly, achieving your goals with a friend can feel more rewarding, because you have someone to share your success with. It\u2019s more fun too.
\nTo help, when you refer a friend to Glo Gym, we\u2019ll give you a month\u2019s free membership. Find out more.<\/p>\n


\n6. Enjoy the festive season <\/strong><\/p>\n

You don\u2019t want to spend the holiday season beating yourself up for enjoying the odd indulgence. You really are allowed to give yourself a bit of a break. Denying yourself the treats of Christmas only damages your wellbeing and makes you resent the fact you\u2019re working so hard to stay fit the rest of the year.<\/p>\n

Instead, head into the festive season with a clear fitness plan for when you\u2019re on the other side. That can give you the freedom to enjoy the holidays properly, because you know that, even if things slide a little over Christmas, you\u2019ll soon be able to fix it.<\/p>\n
