10 Tips from Arctic

TO STAY ACTIVE & MOTIVATED OVER THE WINTER MONTHS!

1. Warm up & down Ideally indoors.

Stretching & the right set of exercises will increase blood flow in the muscles & help generate body warmth. Cold and stiff muscles are more prone to injury. Your body will thank you & you’ll feel the benefits of your training. And stay hydrated!

2. Dress up & buddy up!

If you’re heading outdoors, layer up & dress adapted to the cold & weather conditions. Essentials include the right adapted footwear, hat/beanie for warmth & gloves. And for that extra motivation to get out off the couch & outside, fix a date with a buddy to stick to the plan!

3. Take the stairs.

The easiest rule in the book. Skip the lift, escalators & make those stairs work for you. The best way to get your heart rate up & to wake yourself up

4. Buy a skipping rope!

Another ol’faithful & one of the easiest ways to build strength, resistance, get fit & feel the results. Challenge yourself & every day you’ll love yourself for it!

5. Core strength The plank!

One of our favourites & another easy home-win. Core strength is a-must & will contribute towards overall conditioning.
