Winter is Just Around the Corner… Don’t Let it Slow you Down!

You’ve worked your ass off all summer long. Over the past 3 months you’ve added a good amount of muscle , your strength is through the roof, and you’ve got a good solid tan going. But most of all, you’ve been something you haven’t been since your high school days… consistent! You’ve only missed one morning that you were supposed to be in the gym, and you felt terrible about that, even though you had a good excuse.

But now the summer is over, days are seemingly getting shorter and you’re starting to feel the weight of the load you’ve been holding up all summer… fatigue is setting in… maybe it’s time for a break…

In the summer, you might even throw in an extra 30-minute workout before you go out with your friends so your arms are pumped up in your tight short sleeve T. In the winter it’s just not that way. The fact that you have to dress heavier might even stop you from going out completely. Why go out of your way to build a great physique just so you can throw on a bulky sweater and long pants everyday?

Winter can be a hinderance on your workout life too! To me, there’s nothing like stepping out of the gym into the subtle breeze of a warm summer night after throwing down a gut-busting workout. In the winter, you hate that you have to get all dressed again, throw your coat on, complete with hat, gloves and boots. Then you step out into that bitter cold air as it hits every bead of sweat on your face, biting and stinging, and causing your whole body to tense all up as you climb into your stiff, frigid car. But winter isn’t just about cold weather. Even if you live in a “warm weather” state, you are probably affected by the gloom of winter – and you might not even know it. The shorter daylight time alone can throw your mental presence of time into a complete tailspin leaving you “groggy” no matter what time you workout.

Well, there are a number of things we can do, depending on the severity of the circumstances. The truth is, we all suffer from it to some degree! Like I said already, even in the warm weather states, you can be affected by winter. Actually, winter depression isn’t much different than any other form of depression as far as symptoms are concerned. They just come about during the fall and winter months and then subside during the spring and summer. Which makes a lot of since with the way most people (myself included) are more motivated in the summer than in the winter. If you look at the general symptoms of depression you will see how bad this could mess you up. Lack of energy, increased need for sleep, and a craving for sweets and excess food resulting in unwanted fat… winter is a bitch!

Anyway, back to the issue here. Summer has come to an end and winter is slowly taking over – forcing your mind and body into “hibernation”. But how do you keep from letting winter depression set in? How do you avoid getting that “winter coat”? How do you survive the storm?

Here are a few points that may help you see your way through the winter without falling off the wagon altogether.

Get more sunlight! Sunlight may or may not be an issue for you, but the truth is, winter comes with shorter days and longer nights. So if you have an office job without a window or you work nights – you might not see daylight for days at a time! “Light therapy” has been shown to help to improve some peoples’ mental well-being during times when they have less exposure to sunlight. Basically, you sit in front of a box that has some special super bright light lamps for up to 2 hours per day while you are reading or watching TV or whatever. Sounds hokey? Yeah… I agree. But the scientific facts are there to prove it!

Change it up! Remember the time – back in the day – when you were excited to get to the gym? Back when you felt like you were making progress every time you stepped foot in the weight room. Well, you can get there again by doing one simple thing…. Change it up! I like to look at wintertime as a reason to change it up in the gym. I say, treat it the same way you would treat any other plateau. A change in routine can stimulate you physically and mentally! And can help you stay motivated to go to the gym and hit it hard every day.

A modification in your routine can be subtle or dramatic; it’s up to you. You could change to a completely different routine if you must, but even something simple, like using dumbbells instead of a barbell on the bench press, can stimulate substantial growth if you haven’t changed things for a while.

Also, you might be happy with your progress so far and feel like your hard work is finally paying off. But don’t fool yourself into thinking that you can start to slack off and just start maintaining what you have. Even though you might be able to, you’re probably going to find yourself spending more time making excuses than in the weight room. Whatever you do, don’t quit! If you think you’re happy now, imagine how you will feel 3 months from now! Trust me, especially during the first 12 months of training, progress in the weight room builds upon itself exponentially! The more muscle you have, the more fat you will burn and the faster results will come.

Audit your diet! Not only do winter months bring about cold, gloomy, sunless days, they bring about family gatherings and dreadfully tempting food packed holidays. This time of year you need to be even more conscious than normal because the temptations don’t stop; at least not until January comes back around and everyone wants to get in shape again! We all need to audit our diets during the holidays and make sure that we aren’t setting ourselves up for the same ol’ New Years Resolution. The best way to avoid failure in any situation is to set achievable goals and devise a plan to hit them.

Some Diet Hints:

-Avoid ‘dangerous’ highly tempting foods altogether. Don’t trust yourself at all! Don’t even put yourself in that situation! If there is a situation you can’t avoid, make sure that when you get there, you have already eaten so that you don’t overdo it with bad food.

-Keep your hunger level down so you don’t get in that “I need food and I don’t care what it is!” mode. If you find yourself pulling into a Taco Bell because you are desperate for food, you aren’t eating often enough to keep your hunger level down. You can always keep a protein bar, some fruit, or even an MRP on you at all times for situations like these.

-Conjure up some support by getting your significant other or another family member on board with your diet plan. It is a lot easier to “say no” when you have a person there to support your decision. Also, you can help hold each other accountable.

-Don’t give up! Nobody’s perfect and you will probably catch yourself digging into a seriously fattening ¾ pound cheeseburger that (at the moment) tastes like heaven! But don’t get down on yourself too much and don’t give up.

Know your enemy! During the season, a professional football player might look at over 40 hours of film covering his direct competition every week. If he’s good, he will know his opponent inside and out. He knows exactly how he will react in every possible situation! This gives him the upper hand he needs to take advantage of his opponent’s weakness. Of course, in football, it still always comes down to execution, but knowing your counterpart’s weakness is a huge part of the game plan.

And the same goes for overcoming your own personal weaknesses. Take a few minutes to sit down and really evaluate your situation. Just realizing what is going on inside you to cause your “issues” is probably the biggest step in dealing with them. If you realize that you are tired in the morning because the sun isn’t up yet, it will make it a lot easier to deal with it. “…and knowing is half of the battle!” Right? Remember those little lessons at the end of every GI Joe cartoon? I guess TV isn’t all bad!

Take the “Nike Mentality”… Just do it! This is the time of year when they separate the men from the boys! It’s time to hunker down and see what you are really made of! When most people start to crack and excuses start popping up – keeping them out of the gym for days at a time – you need to step it up. You need to continue to get up early every day to do your cardio and still hit it hard when you jet to the gym after work. I was talking to a friend of mine who owns a gym in southern Colorado and he told me that in the wintertime, the attendance level in his gym goes down over 60%! Don’t be one of those guys that searches for excuses to NOT GO to the gym. Be the person that finds reasons TO GO!

Hopefully these tips help you successfully find your way through the dead of winter! If they do, you just might have a 6-month head start on the other 60% when they come back to the gym next summer. For me, I take the last approach with winter. I look at winter as a challenge that needs to be overcome. I think of it as the 4th quarter and I’m not going to be the guy that loses in the 4th quarter because he is tired and out of shape.

What about you? What are you gonna do this winter?
