We're mid-January and sometimes this is when so-called new year resolution starts to fall apart.
Let's face it, it's been cold and wet (mostly), you're probably going in to work when it's still dark outside and coming home it's also dark! Not an easy combination to feel motivated to move one's body.
However, doing just a few minutes of mouvement every day will make a difference. Not only is it good for your body (your joints in particular will thank you!), but it will lift your mood too.
Consistency is what matters, so even if you only have 10 to 15 minutes to spare on a daily basis, can you use this time to go for a walk? If you don't want to go outside (too dark & wet) try some squats or lunges, press ups against a wall (or kitchen counter), use your stairs to do some simple step up and down. If you love dancing, put some music on and have fun!
It may feel a bit weird at first but give it a try, find what makes you feel good and aim to do it every day. I guarantee you will notice the difference in your wellbeing.
If on one day you don't manage to stick to your plan, don't think you have failed, go back to it the following day. Developing new habits is hard so keep it short and as regular as you can would be my advice. Good luck!
