Who doesn't want to stay snuggled up in a quilt in the cold weather? You don't have to do any kind of exercise. Indeed, it may not be right to work out outside the house in the cold. But at home, you have to prepare yourself to do workouts. India's sprinter Hima Das once said, 'More or less, be it a common man or a runner, everyone has to work out. This makes the body fit.' We spoke to physiotherapist and yoga therapist Dr. Amit Khanna about how to prepare yourself for workouts in the winter season.
Dr. Amit explains, 'It is a bit difficult to prepare yourself for a workout in the winter season. Success can be achieved in this by adopting some measures.
Here are the ways to prepare yourself for a workout in the winter season
1. Warm up at home
Working out outside the house in cold weather can be risky. Patients with blood pressure, sugar, and heart need to pay a lot of attention to themselves in cold. That's why some stretch exercises can be done at home. If you do not have any kind of health problem and you are around 30, then you can try Jumping Jacks, Leg Swings, and Butt kicks before running or exercising. This will allow blood to flow to the muscles and joints smoothly. The chances of injury will also reduce.
2. Workout with a partner
You must have heard this saying. Better than one, you can try this for your winter workout. You may feel lazy to work out in winter. So try to make it fun. Try working out with a partner. If you work out with someone, it can motivate you to do great. You can work out together by visiting a friend's house or inviting a friend to your home.
3. Keep trying something new
Always doing the same exercise can bore you. Therefore, while protecting the body from injury, keep trying some new work out. This remedy will keep you connected to the workout.
If you want, you can make your workout fun by attending a group or a fitness class on the weekend.
4. Note down after a workout
Whenever you make your workouts fun, make a note of them. Write about your experiences in a fun way. If the body shows some benefit from the workout, then note that too. Why you should exercise, also note those points. Whenever you get time or feel lazy, definitely read the note. You will be motivated to work out. You can also occasionally post about your workouts on social media.
5. Buy new workout gear
You can also try this remedy to make your workout boring-free. If your workout sneakers and track pants are worn out, buy new ones. It is necessary to stay at home in winter, so a home gym can also be arranged. Have some easy workout gear available at home.
If any kind of marathon is being organized in the city, then participate in it. This type of race happens at a time when the cold is less. You will find running with lots of people interesting and motivating for fitness.
