As we move into the winter months and the days become shorter, most of us prefer to stay inside, curled up cozy with a blanket. The holiday season tends to be a difficult time to exercise. As we move out of bikini season, all of our motivation seems to go with it. So, what can we do?

HELPFUL HINTS
It’s helpful to know what your target heart rate is and how to calculate it. That way, you’ll know whether you need to increase your intensity or take it down a notch. To increase intensity, take a run up and down your stairs at the end of each circuit—you’ll raise your heart rate and feel that extra burn. The goal is to have a safely elevated heart rate for a great sweat session, so push yourself!
Use each 30-second break to keep yourself hydrated and recover. However, don’t lay down or stay stationary during this time. When your heart rate has been elevated rapidly, it’s dangerous to surprise it too much by stopping activity altogether in such a short amount of time. This is a major reason why cooling down at the end of any workout is so important.
Most importantly, make it your own and have fun!
