Squeeze in a Workout
When snow is coming down, and the sky is dark before you even get home from class, going to the gym can be the furthest thing from your mind. You should do it, anyway. "Getting 45 minutes of cardio sounds awful, but it's really helpful," Dr. Siddle said. If the treadmill isn't your thing, she suggests trying other activities that feel good to you, like swimming or yoga.
"There's not really an issue of one type of exercise being better or worse than another for this," Dr. Seymour added. The most important thing is that you try to do some kind of physical activity for at least 30 minutes every day. If you're feeling especially reluctant, he suggests bringing a friend with you for motivation and encouragement.
