The winter months can make it a little extra difficult to get out of bed and hit the gym. It’s not like that’s ever easy, but if the weather makes it look like the sun almost never fully rises, then you don’t really feel like rising to the occasion of cardio. The catch is that the winter and fall months are when we need exercise the most. We need those endorphins. We need the social element of exercise classes and the gym, since everyone mostly hides away in the winter. And we need to work off those special foods that come out this time of year—have you noticed how everything seems to be carb, red meat, and cheese-heavy during the winter? So, if you need motivation, here are ways to make winter workouts less depressing.
