I\u2019m a summer baby, August born and beach bred\u2026 so as it hits winter I really struggle with motivation to exercise and keep fit. It\u2019s cold outside, pitch black in the morning when I wake up to go to work and dark when I come home. I feel like all my mind and body wants to do is rest, nest and add layers of fat for insulation. Through the winter and especially the festive season, our calorific intake can increase by 50% a day. And not only that, we’re so busy doing things for other people we forget to invest in ourselves.<\/p>\n

If you’re like me, every year we earmark January 1st as the time we\u2019re going to make major changes, revamp our nutrition, tackle our bad habits and move our bodies. Has it worked? Does it work? For me, no! I last a month if that! So I, going forward, am going with a different approach and I urge you to join me.<\/p>\n

The idea is to have a December Advent Calendar of Wellbeing, in other words doing something to invest in our health and wellbeing every day of December. It doesn\u2019t need to be as hardcore as a run, HIT session or trip to the gym but maybe choose from activities like these:<\/p>\n
