Don't Hibernate! Stay Lean During The Winter!

Christmas and New Year's Parties Come Sooner Than You Think! Don't Let Cozy Sweaters & Track Pants Trick You Into Gaining a Few Pounds!

Here are some tips to maintain your lean summer body into winter:

1. At home; try to avoid wearing baggy sweaters and pants.  You're more likely to overeat.  Take it a step further and wear tight clothes- prevents snacking and makes you want to suck in right? (Draw the belly button in; good for tightening the waistline and improving posture)

2. Subsititute meals for hearty and healthy soups.  Visit the Canadian Living recipe webpage for some quick and easy recipes!  Soups are warm (increase body temperature, increase calorie expenditure) and tasty and you can all your food groups in one bowl! Just be mindful of the sodium content; water down that broth!

*Tip- If you "NEED" that carb, scoop your soup with some crackers, or toast a slice of multigrain bread without butter.  Substitute the beef in your chilli for lean ground chicken or turkey.

3. Embrace scraping you car, and shovelling the driveway! A 150 lb person will burn about 400 calories shovelling snow for one hour!  That beats driving to the gym for the treadmill, plus it's a good method of strength and endurance training. 

4. Toboggan! It's a fun way to get your heart rate up and your muscles working without even knowing it! (Same goes for skiing, snowboarding and any other winter activity) check out Blue Mountain, Snow Valley and Horseshoe Resort for activities!

5. Find out now why OMEGA 3 supplements are a good idea! (Can improve prevention of a variety of diseases, aid in weight loss in combination with other healthy habits, and improve appearance of skin- perfect for combat dryness from the winter)

When doing your cardio try placing a magazine like USWeekly, People, or any other tabloid, in front of the screen so you're not focused on how many calories you've burnt or how much time is left.

What else works? Use magazines and video's like the one below as motivation! Next time you're too tired or lazy to get to the gym, just check out images video's of people you would like to look like, and use it as inspiration.  We aren't saying you shouldn't be yourself, but a little bit of envy or jealousy is a factor that keeps people going.

Skip the Gym Workout at Home!

Not everyone has the time, money or motivation to go to the gym. You may be like most people who want to workout but don't know where to start, here's a solution! Skip the gym and workout at home!

Start at home and work your way up to the gym. If you don't have the money or time for a gym then you can always stay home and workout!

Here are some tips on how to use things in your house as equipment:

-Use your stairs! Walk up and down your stairs to work your legs like a stair-climber machine that is at most gyms

-When doing floor exercises use a workout mat or a towel so you don't move around

-Two litre pop bottles (must be full) can be used as weights to work your arms, if you can get real weights use those but remember to workout on carpet so when you put the weights down they don't scratch the floor

-You can always buy some workout videos and do them at home!

Remember you can always skip the gym and workout at home

Here's a video of a chest workout you can do at home all you need is weights!
