When the mornings are dark and the air’s chilly, it’s easy to lose your rhythm with exercise. Motivation dips, and suddenly it’s been weeks since your last walk, class, or stretch.

But here’s the truth — winter is when movement matters most.

Cold weather can make us feel sluggish, stiff and even lower our mood. Staying active helps combat those winter blues, supports immunity, and keeps our joints and muscles functioning well. And you don’t always need to push hard — consistency over perfection is the key.

Here are a few gentle reminders to help you reconnect with movement:

• Keep it simple. You don’t need an hour-long workout. A 15-minute stretch, walk or strength circuit still counts.
• Move at home. No commute, no cold wind – just you and a warm space. Try bodyweight strength, balance exercises or boxing moves.
• Buddy up. A friend, partner or trainer can help make movement feel less like a chore.
• Book it in. If it’s in your diary, you’re more likely to do it. Treat movement like any other appointment.

And if you’re still not sure where to start — that’s where I come in.

I offer in-home and personalised movement sessions tailored to your needs, energy and goals. Whether you’re rebuilding strength, managing a health condition or simply needing a bit of encouragement, I can help you find a routine that fits.
