Feel like your workout motivation fades as the days get shorter? You’re definitely not alone. When the colder months set in, the urge to cozy up instead of working out can be strong. But staying active through winter doesn't have to be a struggle—it can actually become an enjoyable part of the season. In this episode of Embrace Your Real, I dive into how you can create a winter fitness routine that works with your body’s natural rhythms, making your workout time something you look forward to.

One key strategy is adapting your routine to suit winter’s slower pace. Resistance training, for example, can be a grounding choice that supports your goals without overwhelming your energy levels. Embracing periodization—essentially, cycling through different workout intensities and focuses—allows you to stay consistent without burning out. Fitness isn’t about pushing forward relentlessly; it’s about tuning into the season's natural ebb and flow and working with it, not against it.
