1️⃣ Anchor Your Routine

Shorter daylight hours disrupt circadian rhythm. Lock in regular training times so your body adapts and expects movement.

2️⃣ Use Light to Your Advantage

Get outside in the morning or train under bright lights. Light exposure helps regulate energy, mood, and sleep.

3️⃣ Warm Up Properly

Cold muscles need longer prep. Add 5–10 mins of dynamic movement to increase blood flow and reduce injury risk.

4️⃣ Fuel with Purpose

Colder months increase cravings for calorie-dense food. Prioritise protein and whole foods to support training and recovery.

5️⃣ Stay Accountable

Motivation dips when it’s dark and wet. Commit to training partners or group sessions to keep the habit strong.

6️⃣ Respect Recovery

Sleep pressure naturally increases in winter. Use it. Get adequate sleep and mobility work so your training stays consistent.
