The clocks will be changing soon and you might have to wake up and go to work in the dark and come home in the dark too. Some people train very hard during the summertime then either cut back on their training or stop altogether over wintertime which isn't a good idea to do. People normally train for 45-60 minutes 2-4 times a week and if you're working hard enough you should be hot and sweating whilst moving around staying warm and not noticing the cold or damp conditions if you're training outside. I train people outdoors 7 days a week all year through and have only been caught out by heavy rain 5 times this year which isn't bad going!I've brought some goretex Asics trainers from Sports Direct that keep my feet warm and dry for £50.
I've brought a light, breathable, windproof goretex jacket from TK Max (which comes with a hood which keeps my head and ears warm and dry) for £20.
I've brought a couple of pairs of breathable and waterproof exercise trousers from TK Max £15-£20 each.
I've brought some waterproof gloves from a BP petrol station on the A3 (big basket in front of the till) for £5.
So I'm fully waterproof and toasty all year long for approximately £100.
Training in the winter is beneficial for the following reasons:
You don't have a break in your training so you can maintain or improve on your fitness.
You won't have any loss of health or fitness or weight gain which can be accompanied by a negative mood change.
Training during the winter time is physically and mentally more difficult so you'll reap more rewards.
Training outdoors can strengthen your immune system so you'll be less susceptible to common colds.
The other Get Fit Boot Camp members will be there making it a fun and sociable group environment.
