Exercising in the winter requires just a little bit more dedication and effort than summer months, here are our Fat Attack's tips on ways to beat winter's exercise blues!

1. Exercise with friends – it's a great way to catch up and make training sessions fun!

2. If you prefer staying at home on dark nights,  why not do a fast and furious 30min training session at lunchtime!

3. Allow your body to recover if you have a cold or flu. You will not reap any rewards by exercising when actually you should be resting. Induldge in this time to think about new exercises to incorporate into your future workouts.

4. Keep hydrated at all times! You'd be amazed at the power of central heat to dehydrate.  Remember exercise performance can be severley limited in those suffering from dehydration so drink drink and drink!

5. Restock energy levels after a hard workout to maximise recovery time. Chose a carbohydrate based snack – our favourites include an energy boosting banana, ryvita with cream cheese or glass of fresh fruit juice!
