If you\u2019re wondering how to stay fit in winter, here are eight ways to adapt your wellness routine so it\u2019s easy to maintain all season long.<\/p>\n<h2>1. Support Your Immune System<\/h2>\n<p>Winter is a common time to get sick, so it\u2019s good to be extra careful about staying healthy. Support a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.health.harvard.edu\/staying-healthy\/how-to-boost-your-immune-system\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">healthy immune system<\/a>\u00a0by adding these habits to your winter wellness routine:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Wash your hands thoroughly and often.<\/li>\n<li>Eat a rainbow\u00a0of fruits and vegetables.<\/li>\n<li>Make sure you\u2019re\u00a0getting enough sleep each night.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>2. Change Up Your Skincare Regimen<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-177512 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/bod-blog-assets.prod.cd.beachbodyondemand.com\/bod-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/04112400\/how-to-stay-fit-in-winter-skin-care.png\" alt=\"woman using lotion | how to stay fit in winter\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Winter skincare\u00a0is all about moisture. The cold air and lower humidity can make your skin feel dry, flaky, or itchy. To make sure your skin stays hydrated and healthy this winter, you may want to switch to a heavier-duty moisturizer than what you\u2019d use during the humid summer months. Avoid long soaks in hot water, which can be drying, and consider using a humidifier at night.<\/p>\n<p>One habit you should keep from your summer skin care routine:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.skincancer.org\/press\/2018-winter-sun-safety\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">sunscreen<\/a>! Even in winter, you should still be wearing your SPF when you head outdoors.<\/p>\n<h2>3. Reduce Stress<\/h2>\n<p>The holiday season can be hectic, so step up your\u00a0self-care routine\u00a0in the winter by implementing tried and true stress management techniques.<\/p>\n<p>Call a friend or loved one for some laughs, meditate, take a\u00a0yoga class, start a gratitude practice, or try some\u00a0breathing techniques.<\/p>\n<h2>4. Winterize Your Workout<\/h2>\n<p>The cold weather often limits outdoor activity for some parts of the country, and let\u2019s face it:\u00a0Motivating yourself\u00a0to go to the gym when it\u2019s cold and dark can feel nearly impossible. So how else can you stay fit in winter?<\/p>\n<p>Look for streaming workouts and live fitness classes you can do at home.\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/bodi.pxf.io\/ZVXz4g\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">BODi<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0offers dozens of programs that turn your living room or bedroom into your own home gym. From strength training and HIIT to barre and dance workouts, you can discover your favorite way to move in one of our free workouts on\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/bodi.pxf.io\/ZVXz4g\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">BODi Fitness<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Or just layer up and brave the chilly temps \u2014 a\u00a0cold weather workout\u00a0can be surprisingly invigorating! Just be sure to start slowly with a good\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.beachbodyondemand.com\/blog\/best-stretching-exercises?referringrepid=1393\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">warm-up<\/a>\u00a0to get your muscles prepped.<\/p>\n<p>And if you plan on\u00a0running in winter, keep an eye out for ice, snow, and potholes. You may want to consider switching to trail running shoes when the ground is slippery.<\/p>\n<h2>5. Follow the Light<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-177511 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/bod-blog-assets.prod.cd.beachbodyondemand.com\/bod-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/04112345\/how-to-stay-fit-in-winter-sun.png\" alt=\"people running on snowy road | How to Stay Fit in Winter\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Short winter days can make you feel like you\u2019re dragging. So when the sun is shining, make it a point to head outside.<\/p>\n<p>Spending time outdoors can\u00a0benefit your mental health\u00a0and boost your mood. Bonus: A few minutes of sunlight each day can also help to ensure you\u2019re getting enough\u00a0vitamin D in the winter.<\/p>\n<h2>6. Maintain Your Motivation<\/h2>\n<p>Gray skies and frigid temps can\u00a0zap your will\u00a0to get off the couch. If you\u2019re looking to\u00a0maintain your motivation\u00a0throughout the winter season, here are a few strategies that can help:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Find a virtual workout buddy or\u00a0online community\u00a0who can hold you accountable.<\/li>\n<li>Schedule your workouts so you\u2019re not relying on sheer willpower to get you moving.<\/li>\n<li>Set a\u00a0specific and measurable\u00a0goal so you have something to work towards.<\/li>\n<li>Invest in your workouts \u2014 treat yourself to some\u00a0winter workout gear, add a new fitness gadget to your home gym setup, or book time with a trainer.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>7. Monitor Your Progress<\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019re working from home, chances are you\u2019ll be spending a lot of time in sweatpants this winter \u2014 which means you may not notice weight fluctuations the way you would if you were wearing non-elastic pants. Put on your favorite jeans now and then \u2014 it\u2019s an easy,\u00a0non-scale way\u00a0to gauge your progress.<\/p>\n<h2>8. Rest, Relax, and Refresh<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-177510 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/bod-blog-assets.prod.cd.beachbodyondemand.com\/bod-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/04112328\/how-to-stay-fit-in-winter-relax.png\" alt=\"woman staying cozy with mug | How to Stay Fit in Winter\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s important to tune in to how your body responds to the shorter days. If you\u2019re craving extra sleep and self-care, go ahead and adjust your wellness routine accordingly. Make time for a long bath, a cup of\u00a0herbal tea, a movie night with your family, and anything else that\u2019ll help you recharge.<\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s time to think about your winter wellness routine.
