Simply Tasheena: January 2021

Living in Connecticut and working out during the winter months can be brutal. Whether you decide to work out in or outside of your home. During the winter months, the motivation to workout at times is just non-existent. There’s something about being warm and cozy near a fireplace that just seems so much more appealing. Though, with the new year being in full swing, we can all use a few tips to make our winter workouts a success. Below, I’m sharing my must-know tips for Winter Workout Success.

Tips for Winter Workout Success

Accountability Partner
Working out is so much easier when you have an accountability partner. This person can be virtual! It’s all about having someone that’s going to be a part of your team and making sure that you’re staying on track with your workout goals.

Goals
It’s so important to create workout goals. Are you working out to lose weight or feel healthier? Do you have a weight goal? Do you have a goal for the number of steps you want to complete in a day? Do you have a goal to eat healthy during the week? What are some of your workout goals? List them in your journal or phone and use them as a daily reminder.

Schedule
Create a workout schedule and stick to it. It’s such a great way of just having a routine to look forward to daily. Let’s face it, we all need structure in our life, and having a schedule does that. When you don't have a workout schedule. It’s a lot easier to miss a workout because you keep pushing the time back. Figure out what time works best for you and your schedule, and stick with it.

Reward
I’m huge on having a reward system with workouts. Whether you decide to reward yourself for being consistent with workouts or reaching your weight goal. Create a list of rewards that you can give yourself for reaching your accomplishments.

Breathe Right®
Breathe Right® nasal strips have been the perfect addition to my workout! Whether I’m doing yoga, walking/running, or simply meditating, it has been what my workout needed. The nasal strips helped me really feel tuned-in during my yoga and meditation sessions. I’m able to breathe easier, with less resistance, and feel my nose open up. I use Breathe Right® strips during my daily walks as well! I typically apply the nasal strip right before my workout. They’re super easy to apply. All you have to do is first wash your face and thoroughly dry it. Position the strip along the width of your nose, and press down. It has been such a game-changer. Plus, you can find Breathe Right® at all your favorite retailers in the cough/cold section!
