It's cold and I don't want to work out

[Kellyro77]

Am I the only one who gets to feeling like they don't want to work out when the weather gets cold and grey? I just want to snuggle up under a warm blanket and eat hot soup instead.

Sounds good to me! The warm blanket & hot soup, that is…

I feel your pain. It is rainy and gray and dreary and oh my 65 degrees here in Florida! Bring on the woolies.

Me!!

I, too, feel your pain. I workout in my cellar and it’s pretty cold. I really have to force myself to go down there. My bones feel really, really heavy at first but by the end of the warm-up I’m good and that’s what I have to tell myself …

Nope, I don't relate at this occasion.
4 me training is part of my HEALTH. It is non-négociable
Kind of boring one would say!

I agree! I just meant to say it’s a thought to go into the cellar but I do it anyway …

Totally can relate to not wanting to workout when it's cold and rainy, BUTTTT
I know I will feel even worse if I skip it.

Yes I understood you perfectly. We all have those days when discouraging thoughts cross our mindset.

I know exactly what you mean by the feeling we get after the warm up. I totally relate
We just push and do it. BTW it is pretty cold and windy here south Belgium. Take care

I hear you about feeling worse!

It is a lifestyle engrained in us.

For me, I still want to work out as I know it will help warm me up, but cold weather makes me feel stiff and sore. I really need to be mindful of warming up properly. Like others have mentioned, I feel worse if I don't work out. However, as I am in the Southern Hemisphere we are heading into summer here. Currently the temperature when I work out is around 21-23°C (I think somewhere in the 70s Fahrenheit) which is OK. But by December I will need to use the AC for cooling during my workouts.

Aha! That why, we, in Sweden, are overtrained

Agree with you. I always feel guilty!

Ha ha, Nicki. If the meme was true we could all just turn down our thermostats and burn tons of calories vegging out on the couch watching TV. Hee hee ....wouldn't that be nice! No winter fur (fat) coats for any of us. On the other hand,, maybe that's part of the reason people were thinner before central heating became the norm in homes. That's an interesting thought.
