However, once you stop, with most things, it is very hard to get started again. This past summer I exercised every day, doing yoga and going to the gym. However, once school started, it was hard for me to find the time and motivation to continue exercising. Time change can definitely affect this too. During the colder, winter season, many people feel a lack of motivation to do things. The light definitely has an impact on us. But don't let that bring you down! Take that feeling of disgust and turn it into your motivation to get back to working out again. It's defiantly easier said than done. Perhaps find someone to exercise with, whether its a friend or family member. When you are with someone, it will be easier to find that motivation that got you starting to work out in the first place. Also, try exercising once you get up in the morning. If you wait around all day to work out, chances are, your not going to work out. Listening to music sometimes helps too. Put on the radio and blast some up beat music (or whatever music puts you in a good mood) and get up and move around. Start exercising in the comfort of your own home. I use a website called exercise.com and they have tons of different routines to get you starting to exercise again. I hope I was of some help! Best of luck!!
