by Ahmed Gaffar Moon

“Once you are doing exercise regularly, the hardest thing is to stop it.” Whoever said this clearly didn’t have a problem getting out of bed on a cold December day but a lot of us sure do.

Sometimes it gets extremely hard to battle the cold during winters and removing the comforter to get out of bed early morning while the sky is still dark seems like the worst thing ever. The chilly wind and dropping temperatures make your bed the coziest place to be however here are four super easy ways to keep your active and energetic throughout the cold season.

A Brisk Walk

Walking is one of the simplest and easiest methods of working out and does not require any major effort other than putting on your shoes. Taking a quick walk early morning with your hoodie on can definitely keep you active through the rest of the day.

Dancing

According to a study done dancing can burn major calories per half an hour (anywhere between 90 to 266 calories) depending on a few factors such as age, gender and weight. This way can work out for anybody that is into dancing already or enjoys doing so since the normal workout routine might sound boring to some people.

Group work out

Having people around you that have the same fitness goals is a motivating factor itself as you are socialising and staying fit at the same time which prevents moodiness aswell. Research suggests people that work out in groups have better mental, physical and emotional health compared to those who work out alone.

Using seasonal foods

Foods such as Red Bell Peppers, Salmon, Tumeric, Green Tea, Oysters and Sweet Potatoes which contain high levels of vitamin C to not only keep you active and warm but also prevent catching the seasonal flu or cold as vitamin C is good for boosting immunity.
