While many of us start the year with healthy lifestyle intentions, as the days get shorter and the temperature drops, finding motivation to stay on track can become harder.

"If you feel like winter is creeping up on you and you're worried you'll fall off-track, here are some tips to help you continue smashing those health and fitness goals in the cold!" says celebrity trainer Michelle Bridges from 12WBT.

Here, Michelle shares how to stay fit over the chilly months.

GET ACTIVE INDOORS

Indoor options allow you to keep warm inside, you're less likely to use the excuse of "it's too cold" and, as the mornings and evenings are darker, training indoors may also feel like a safer alternative.

If you prefer to train by yourself, create an at-home gym space with some basic equipment. If you're a social being and enjoy connecting with others, you might like to join a gym, try hot yoga, bowling, dancing or join a team for indoor soccer, netball, or cricket.

You could also head to your local indoor swimming pool. If you're not a great swimmer, try some simple aerobics moves in the shallow end.
