Chilly Bones

It's starting to get cooler outside and before you know it the snow will be here. A lot of people have the most trouble getting themselves to exercise during the winter months. It could be Seasonal Affective Disorder, or it could just be laziness.

I think sometimes it's just hard to get yourself moving when you're chilly. Your body is telling you just to get a blanket and get warm.

The best way to get that chill out of your bones is to exercise. You can feel totally warmed up in as little as 30 seconds with the right exercise.

Too often we are concerned too much with how we feel right now. "I'm tired now." "I'm cold now." "I don't really feel like exercising now."

In moments like that you have to focus on the future. And no, I'm not talking about how in a year you could be a totally new person, I'm talking about concentrating on the immediate benefits of a good workout.

Think about how, even though you don't feel like doing it, if you exercise you will feel 100% better when you are done. You will feel energized and warm. Plus you'll just feel good about yourself.

Focus on the then, to make yourself do it right now.

Train smart,
