Ten Tips For Winter Wellness
Posted on June 17, 2011 by Dave W
2. If you find it hard to get motivated to exercise in winter?just think of spring and how much harder it is to get back into shape rather than maintain your fitness throughout the winter.
3. Be aware of tendonitis and stress fracture if you don’t exercise in winter and expect to pick up where you left off after a whole winter with no exercise.
4. Instead of picking up a cup of hot chocolate to keep yourself warm, try a herbal beverage.
5. Gain an interest in indoor sports as opposed to cycling and jogging outdoors. Don’t forget that swimming at an indoor pool is an option for a great cardio workout!
6. The cold air and indoor heaters can dry out your skin. Make sure you drink at least 8 glasses of water each day and use moisturizers throughout winter.
7. Buy some indoor plants to soften up the dry atmosphere caused through heating. Indoor plants give off moisture and oxygen and the colours will brighten up a dull day outside.
8. Caught a cold or flu? If the infection is above the neck (nose, throat) you could be OK to complete a low intensity workout. However, if you have symptoms that are worse than an average cold (chest congestion, muscle aches), exercise will only make you worse and delay your recovery. Rest is the best medicine.
9. Wear the right clothes when exercising in winter. Polypropylene is the perfect fabric to wear underneath a tracksuit, which will provide great insulation but minimise moisture loss. Gore-Tex is a fabric used widely for providing protection from the rain and wind.
10. Feel like sitting on the couch with a video and snacking on a cold, wet day? Reach for a protein bar or packet of soy nuts instead of high energy, high fat snacks.

14 year old starting boxing?
Title says it all really. I’m 14 and I’m interested in starting boxing. I’m in pretty good shape and go out running every day I’m free or I cycle. What kind of fitness is there in boxing and how tiring is it? Also, I’m a Southpaw. Does that give me any advantage over people whos stronger hand is their right? What kind of things will I be doing in my first couple of sessions and what are some good tips?
Thanks for your help,
Rory
Answer
find yourself a good trainer first. being in good shape is one thing, being in boxing shape is another. also youve got to ask yourself if you can take a pounding, do you have the heart. everyone thinks they do until theyre in the ring facing someone whos just as hungry as you are and trying to knock your block off. being a southpaw doesnt give you an advantage unless your facing someone who has never fought a lefty before. but first find yourself a boxing gym, train and spar a little, maybe fight as an amature for a few years and if you have any talent take it from there.
