I have no motivation to work out in the winter. Why? Is anyone else the same?

i have a small gym right down my street that has a few treadmills/ellipticals/bikes. So convenient, yet, I don't take advantage of it most days because I feel so lazy! ugh, I don't know what to do.

I think because its all cold, most people like to wrap up warm and cuddle on the sofa instead of getting ready to go the gym! I know I'm like that, when its raining and cold outside I just want to stay in...

I think its easier in the summer because everyone wants to look good in their swim suits/bikinis/swim shorts etc... so everyone is motivated to go the gym ready for the summer, but in the winter everyone wants to wrap up warm etc...

Im trying to go now tho, I spent 2hours in the gym today and I aim to do that at least 3times a week maybe 4/5... I just feel I need to go, and I think eating loads of rubbish over xmas/nu years has motivated me ha ha x

How about paying for a real gym membership at a crowded gym? That's what I would do. I find that for me personally having people around motivates me. Plus, when you pay to workout (am assuming the small gym is in an apartment complex) at the other place, you'll want to get your money's worth. Buy some cute gym clothes, download fun music, and get moving! If you need friends to motivate u, encourage them to tag along too!

Thanks for BA! :) Hope it works out! Remember summer is coming soon! lol

It's hard to stay motivated in the winter. The best thing you can do is watch workout videos on YouTube and try to learn new things. If you have something new to try out, it should give you a spark.

Go down to that gym, find the most attractive person who works there, and picture yourself looking like them physically if you work out! Think of that person when you teel too lazy to work out...

It's hard in the winter...because it's cold and disgusting, you wear more/bulkier clothes, etc. I know I feel fatter now and I am definitely a few pounds heavier because I can't help but have a bigger appetite in the winter, and I still go to the gym 4 times a week..it's more the extra eating and less sweating. I haven't gained enough that I can't fit into my clothes but my stomach is definitely not as flat and my hips feel a little wider and my face looks a little fuller, it's probably about 5-7 lbs spread all around, and I'm trying to lose it but I can't seem to, so frustrating.

Just try and think of how good you feel after you work out and start sweating those endorphins.

That's my motivation, fat people. I don't want to get fat therefore I go to the gym

Listen to some good music and dance! lol.

Skate.

Walk around.

Do sit ups and stuff like that in the house.

I do feel a bit like that. But then again, I'm a lot less active then I used to be, and don't work out much.

My motivation to work out during the winter comes from the harsh reality of where I live. In the spring / summer, it's so hot I could get a heat stroke from exercising. So I take advantage of the cold whenever I can and workout.

I love working out in the cold! Guess it's just a personal preference...

I'm in the same boat right now. I naturally stay pretty muscular though.
