The colder weather has definitely arrived. The mornings are darker, the nights are drawing in, and it's getting harder to get out of bed when the alarm goes off.

Around this time of year, lots of people start to feel a bit sluggish. Energy levels drop, motivation dips, and the sofa starts to look more appealing than the gym.

But you don’t have to let autumn knock you off track. With a few simple habits, you can keep your energy high and stay feeling good as the days get shorter.

Daylight makes a big difference to how you feel. Try to get outside every day, even for 10 or 15 minutes.
