Don’t get SAD, get active. While the saying goes, ‘summer bodies’ are made in winter (well… actually they’re made all year round, with consistent effort) there is another massive benefit to hitting the gym in the colder months. The benefits to your mental and physical health.As the days grow shorter, colder and darker, keeping it on the positive side can be difficult for some people. This and the fact it is harder to get outdoors to move, means we are less active, eat more comforting foods and get even less vitamin D, something which many of us already chronically lack. This deficiency also compounds negative feelings, impacts our sleep cycle and is increasingly being linked to various conditions that effect the brain.By having a regular, structured training regime you can take some of the misery out of the winter months. Wouldn’t you like to boost your mood, wellbeing, immunity, quality of sleep and of course make life a hell of a lot easier on yourself when the temperatures start to rise again and the layers come off?Want to learn how to train effectively or just need someone to be accountable to?

Making Change
Be brave.Heading back into the gym this week may seem a little daunting.You may not look the same physically as you used to.You may not feel the same mentally as you used to.You may not move as well as you used to.Be humble.You may not be able to lift as much as you used to.Or push as hard. Be better.It’s better to start now while the safety measures are strict and the gyms are capped so they’re quiet. The sooner you start, the sooner you’ll reap the benefits.Have patience, leave your expectations at the door and enjoy training again in the open space with equipment you may not have used in months.Work on establishing those healthy routines and habits once more. Consistency is the key to making long term change. Above all be proud of yourself, it’s been a tough year and you are doing this for you. Don’t forget that and let your fears and anxieties stop you from working on the new improved you!#bebrave #behumble #bebetter #workout #gym #fitness #health #selfimprovement #strong #justlift #train #work #strength #selfcare #selfesteem #mentalhealth #prestonpt #southmelbournept #melbournept #wereback #strongerthanyouthink
