GOING TO THE GYM IN WINTER

getting to the gym, especially in the winter, can be mentally challenging!

here are some of my tips + a bonus one in the caption:

(1) make it fun

I suggest having non-aesthetic goals to work towards. I believe in non-aesthetic gym goals regardless of the time of year (see one of my previous lemon8 posts for mine!) but it's especially important because we're always bundled up/covered in the winter.

(2) wear cute things

not a winter specific tip but a tip in general is to wear something cute. the holiday season is perfect for picking something up because of all the promotional sales that are running!

(3) schedule it in

if you're a calendar person, actually blocking out time for yourself is so important. make movement a priority!

*BONUS* ditch the split and focus on half body workouts

I know I'm not getting to the gym as much as I usually would in the winter. instead of doing chest/tri/shoulders and back/bi, do upper body / lower body days. less commitment to 'stick to your split' but you still get to make progress!
