Erik's Weekly Fitness Tip | Here Comes The Sun

 

LET THE SUNSHINE IN

2017 is off in a full sprint and winter is officially over!  There is no doubt that winter takes a toll on everybody and depending on what part of the country you live in it can be downright brutal with it’s cloudy, dark days and freezing temps.  Motivation flounders, comfort food becomes a daily ritual and workouts go on the missing person’s list.  Damn you wintertime!  Well the White Knight has come to save the day in the form of SPRING!  Warmer weather, more daylight and the motivation to be healthy, strong and fit takes flight.

GET OUTSIDE

Now is the time to capitalize!  Add an extra walk after work just because the sun is out.  Get out from under the fluorescent lights at the gym and go for a run, bike ride, or do a workout at the park.  Clean up your diet and head to your local farmers market to get fresh, local, real food.  The point is, just get outside. It does your mind and body a world of good to breathe fresh air and take in the sun’s rays.

Erik's Weekly Fitness Tip | Winter Goals

 

Now Is The Time

Wintertime is coming and now is the time to take advantage of it.  Most people hunker down and go into survival mode, the days are short on light, temperatures drop, and motivation usually falls off. Being from the midwest I totally understand.  

Set An Attainable Goal

But this is your chance, an opportunity to make some real gains with your strength and overall health.  It is time to set a goal that you can reach in the next 3 months, a goal that will not come without busting your butt to get it.  

What Sets You Apart

When most people are in their warm houses sipping coffee in the morning, you are out running your morning loop.  When most people head home after work because it is dark and they're tired, you head to the gym to get your squats and deadlifts in.  And finally when you are at one of your seemingly endless line of holiday parties, you limit your cookie and booze intake when all the other people are complaining about the extra weight they’ve put on, yet continue to eat and drink.   Get after it!
