As the days grow shorter, and the temperature drops, it’s easy to succumb to the temptation of hibernation, curling up on the sofa with a warm blanket and comfort food.

However, winter should not stop you from being active. In fact, staying active during the winter is crucial for our physical and mental well-being.

Being active in winter has so many benefits.

There are lots of ways to stay active during winter, whether that’s going out to be active such as a winter walk or a run, getting active at home with a home workout or joining in with a class or group activity.
