Don’t get frustrated if you feel like you always let your fitness routine fall to the wayside this time of year. There are many reasons why it is so hard to work out in the winter, but the ever-prevalent winter workout blues comes down to three (3) main factors:\n\n1. It’s Cold\nFor those of us who live a bit further from the equator, winter means colder temperatures and, in many areas, frequent bad weather. If you are used to exercising outside, you are probably far less inclined to do so as the temperature drops. Once the snow starts to fall, all bets are off for most (and we don’t blame you).\n\n2. It’s Dark\nThe shorter days in the winter months wreak havoc on everyone’s mental state whether we realize it or not. It is simply easier to justify skipping workout when it feels like there are fewer hours in the day. What’s worse, potentially serious depressive conditions like Seasonal Affective Disorder (S.A.D.) are common, and even a comparatively ‘mild’ case can still rob you of your motivation to do much of anything at all.\n\n3. It’s Busy\nWinter kicks off a busy holiday season that can throw our schedules off track. Even when the festivities calm down, it can be very difficult to reclaim your usual routine and revive your fitness momentum. It can be exhausting doing so much for everyone else during this time. Don’t forget--you can’t pour from an empty cup – self-care comes first!","Why is it harder to workout in the winter?",{"_uid":675,"answer":676,"question":677,"component":669},"9ec9ed37-cf4b-4937-a87f-d6cc45b3ece3","There are many ways to stay motivated to work out during cold weather. Fitness is just as much about improving your mental state and adopting a healthier lifestyle as it is about getting in better physical shape.\n\nThat said, it’s helpful to remember that ‘Action Precedes Motivation’ – meaning that you establish motivation (and momentum) by the act of getting started. It might feel daunting to think about how to stay fit during the cold dark winter, but establishing a game plan and taking the first active step is the hardest part. Be proud of yourself for getting past that initial foot-dragging stage. It gets easier!\n\nTo get started, it’s critical to choose workouts that you will enjoy. Follow the lead of top NFL players - many of your favorite professional athletes choose to glove up for their offseason training. Boxing and kickboxing are two of the most effective and addictive exercises to keep you motivated any time of year, with an endless variety of drills tailored to all fitness levels. When the weather starts to take a turn, you can easily start boxing or kickboxing at home, with or without equipment.\n\nIf you’re ready to treat yourself to some boxing equipment, you don’t need much to get started. It’s worth it, too. The stress-busting intensity of a heavy bag workout does wonders for your mental health, making boxing and kickboxing the most effective winter workouts to keep you coming back for more.","How do you stay motivated to work out in cold weather?",{"_uid":679,"answer":680,"question":681,"component":669},"8fc24de5-6e2c-4bc7-93ab-d75843edeeaa","1. Create an At-Home Gym\nGet out of the cold with your own special indoor fitness gym. Setting up a home boxing gym is one of the best ways to ensure you can stay motivated when the weather outside is frightful. It is much simpler than you may think, especially with step-by-step guides offered by programs with complete home setups like FightCamp.\n\n2. Join a Like-Minded Group\nHaving support from a community with similar fitness goals is priceless. Not only is it encouraging to share your fitness journey with others, but joining online classes can spark your inner competitive edge, pushing you to keep showing up and to go harder every time.\n\n3. Track Your Progress\nAs great as healthy competition can be, the most important competitor you face is yourself. One of the biggest fitness motivators is seeing the progress you have made towards your personal fitness goals. There are few things more satisfying than knowing your hard work is paying off, and programs like FightCamp, with their App and punch trackers, can give you the data and insight to follow your at-home workout metrics.\n\n4. Eat Healthy\nThis can be tough during the winter holidays. While it is important to let yourself indulge and enjoy at celebrations, it’s also important to remember that what you eat will impact how you feel. Following a boxer’s diet is an easy way to not derail your fitness progress by providing guidelines on choosing the right kinds of fuel.\n\n5. Schedule Your Workouts\nYes, keeping a fitness routine is exactly what many find so difficult in the winter, but it can be done. Even if you’re confronted with a hectic holiday schedule, you can almost always find a way to pencil in as little as 15 minutes for exercise just 3 or 4 times per week. Again, this is part of the massive appeal behind boxing and kickboxing – you can crush a combination cardio and full-body strength training workout in way less time.","How can I stay fit in the winter?",{"name":260,"created_at":261,"published_at":262,"updated_at":263,"id":264,"uuid":265,"content":683,"slug":260,"full_slug":280,"sort_by_date":48,"position":281,"tag_list":695,"is_startpage":9,"parent_id":57,"meta_data":48,"group_id":283,"first_published_at":284,"release_id":48,"lang":60,"path":48,"alternates":696,"default_full_slug":48,"translated_slugs":48,"_stopResolving":62},{"_uid":267,"name":268,"category":684,"component":39,"meta_info":692,"block_image":693,"cover_image":694,"internal_notes":7},{"name":140,"created_at":141,"published_at":142,"updated_at":143,"id":144,"uuid":145,"content":685,"slug":140,"full_slug":325,"sort_by_date":48,"position":55,"tag_list":690,"is_startpage":9,"parent_id":135,"meta_data":48,"group_id":327,"first_published_at":328,"release_id":48,"lang":60,"path":48,"alternates":691,"default_full_slug":48,"translated_slugs":48,"_stopResolving":62},{"_uid":147,"name":148,"topics":686,"component":118,"meta_info":687,"meta_title":7,"block_image":688,"cover_image":689,"internal_notes":7,"meta_description":7},[156,184,211,238,265,292],{"_uid":315,"title":316,"plugin":43,"description":317},{"id":319,"alt":320,"name":7,"focus":48,"title":320,"filename":321,"copyright":7,"fieldtype":50},{"id":323,"alt":320,"name":7,"focus":48,"title":320,"filename":324,"copyright":7,"fieldtype":50},[],[],{"_uid":270,"title":271,"plugin":43,"description":272},{"id":274,"alt":275,"name":7,"focus":48,"title":275,"filename":276,"copyright":7,"fieldtype":50},{"id":278,"alt":275,"name":7,"focus":48,"title":275,"filename":279,"copyright":7,"fieldtype":50},[],[],{"name":698,"created_at":699,"published_at":700,"updated_at":701,"id":702,"uuid":703,"content":704,"slug":713,"full_slug":714,"sort_by_date":48,"position":281,"tag_list":715,"is_startpage":9,"parent_id":716,"meta_data":48,"group_id":717,"first_published_at":718,"release_id":48,"lang":60,"path":48,"alternates":719,"default_full_slug":48,"translated_slugs":48,"_stopResolving":62},"Mollie McGurk","2021-09-10T15:38:15.527Z","2022-02-08T23:28:28.870Z","2022-02-08T23:28:28.890Z",71000016,"0b747e20-f084-493c-87c2-8242318710bf",{"bio":705,"_uid":706,"name":698,"photo":707,"component":710,"social_link_tiktok":7,"social_link_twitter":7,"social_link_website":7,"social_link_youtube":7,"social_link_facebook":7,"social_link_linkedin":711,"social_link_instagram":712,"social_link_pinterest":7},"Mollie McGurk is a writer and has trained in boxing, kickboxing, MMA, and HIIT for over 10 years.

You will benefit from increased nutrients and the removal of byproducts from your muscles due to all your hard workouts. You are more susceptible to injuries if you do not stretch post-workout. Incorporating a stretching routine will help you maintain or increase your flexibility, which in turn counteracts the activities of daily living for most of the population. Sedentary lifestyles cause our muscles to shorten over time, and we feel tighter, making it harder to enjoy a life without constraints. When our lifestyle of inactivity becomes the dominating factor, it creates muscular imbalances that will not allow us to function correctly. Not skipping our post-workout stretching routine will help eliminate low back pain because of shortened muscles like our quads, hip flexors, and chest. These muscles throw our spine out of alignment and significantly change our movement patterns and overall performance. ","Is post-workout stretching important?",{"_uid":1107,"answer":1108,"question":1109,"component":669},"3cd70049-37de-4376-a655-d6af87d5dfd5","7 Stretches to Help You Recover Post-Workout\n1. Shoulder Flossing\n-Start in a standing position.\n-Hold a towel, resistance band, etc., in front of your thighs with your hands about a foot wider than hip-width apart.\n-Maintain an active core as you bring your arms up and over your head without bending at the elbows or flaring out your rib cage.\n-Do not force this movement. If this is tricky, bend one elbow and go one arm at a time.\n\n2. World's Greatest Stretch \n-From high active plank, push in to bear squat, and lunge left foot forward. \n-Next to the left hand, raise the left hand to the sky. \n-As you breathe, maintain a straight right rear leg, pushing your heel towards the floor. \n-Lower the left hand and step your left foot back. REPEAT on the right and alternate for 60-90 seconds.\n\n3. Kneeling Quad/Hip Flexor Stretch\n-Step your right foot forward from a kneeling position far enough to lower your hips towards the floor. \n-Reach back (if possible) with your right hand, grab onto your left ankle, and maintain an upright posture. \n-Hold this position and breath slowly for 30-60 seconds, then switch legs.\n\n4. Cat/Cow\n-Start on all fours, neutral spine. \n-Inhale and let your belly fall as you lift your chin and your eyes look up. Draw your shoulders away from your ears. \n-Upon exhaling, press through your hands, round the spine, and tuck the tailbone.\n\n5. Thread the Needle\n-Start on all fours. \n-Open the right arm up to the sky, then take it under your chest behind the opposite arm. \n-Bring your right shoulder to the floor, then return to the start.

You will benefit from increased nutrients and the removal of byproducts from your muscles due to all your hard workouts. You are more susceptible to injuries if you do not stretch post-workout. Incorporating a stretching routine will help you maintain or increase your flexibility, which in turn counteracts the activities of daily living for most of the population. Sedentary lifestyles cause our muscles to shorten over time, and we feel tighter, making it harder to enjoy a life without constraints. When our lifestyle of inactivity becomes the dominating factor, it creates muscular imbalances that will not allow us to function correctly. Not skipping our post-workout stretching routine will help eliminate low back pain because of shortened muscles like our quads, hip flexors, and chest. These muscles throw our spine out of alignment and significantly change our movement patterns and overall performance. ",{"type":738,"attrs":1164,"content":1165},{"level":740},[1166],{"text":1167,"type":728},"7 Stretches to Help You Recover Post-Workout",{"type":738,"attrs":1169,"content":1170},{"level":764},[1171],{"text":1172,"type":728},"Shoulder Flossing",{"type":1174,"attrs":1175,"content":1178},"ordered_list",{"order":1176},{"order":1177},1,[1179,1186,1192,1198],{"type":1180,"content":1181},"list_item",[1182],{"type":724,"content":1183},[1184],{"text":1185,"type":728},"Start in a standing position.",{"type":1180,"content":1187},[1188],{"type":724,"content":1189},[1190],{"text":1191,"type":728},"Hold a towel, resistance band, etc., in front of your thighs with your hands about a foot wider than hip-width apart.",{"type":1180,"content":1193},[1194],{"type":724,"content":1195},[1196],{"text":1197,"type":728},"Maintain an active core as you bring your arms up and over your head without bending at the elbows or flaring out your rib cage.",{"type":1180,"content":1199},[1200],{"type":724,"content":1201},[1202],{"text":1203,"type":728},"Do not force this movement.

This often means around 30 seconds of almost maximum output followed by 15-30 seconds of recovery or low-intensity movement.

A HIIT workout is usually between 10-30 minutes, but it packs a punch. One study showed that a 30-minute HIIT workout burned around 25-30% more calories than 30 minutes of a traditional workout. Pushing yourself to the max in short bursts also increases your calorie burn long after you’ve hung up your gloves. \n\n-Tones Muscle\nBy ramping up your resting metabolic rate, HIIT turns your body into a fat-burning machine. Consistent HIIT training will increase and tone muscle while reducing overall body fat. This makes HIIT one of the most physically transformative methods of training you can do.\n\n-Adds Variety\nHIIT is fun because you can switch it up. Boxing and kickboxing are great for HIIT because there are so many exercises to choose from. The quick periods of high intensity in any routine add a challenge to what would otherwise be a repetitive workout.\n\n-Improves Cardiovascular Health\nAll exercise is foundational to good health, but HIIT has proven to be exceptionally good for the heart. HIIT strengthens the heart muscle and raises your blood oxygen levels, contributing to a healthier cardiovascular system. Some studies have shown that HIIT resulted in greater improvements in blood pressure and blood sugar than moderate-intensity workouts. ","What are the benefits of HIIT?\n",{"_uid":2293,"answer":2294,"question":2295,"component":669},"d546160f-0f6f-4893-bb1c-dccaa63bd894","You’d include HIIT in your training when you want to challenge yourself or if you are plateauing with any of your fitness goals. HIIT essentially takes your workout up a notch by increasing the calorie burn, oxygenation, and intensity. If you feel stagnated, add a HIIT workout once or twice a week to get back on track.\n\nHIIT is great if you are ever just bored with any workout, as well. Striving to reach your maximum potential is exhilarating and can reignite the fun of your exercise routine. Many fighters can lose motivation for certain training cornerstones like roadwork, for example. Dialing up the intensity for some of your roadwork drills can make a huge difference and increase the effectiveness of your training.\n\nOne of the best things about HIIT is you can get creative with it.
