I find it very difficult to motivate myself to exercise this time of year. I much rather hide in big and cozy sweatshirts in front of a nice movie.

But I have an idea. Take a walk!

Oh no, you might think now. What a hassle to go out in this dreary, grey weather (although this may only apply to us in the north, Im sure the rest of the world is drenched in sunshine…)
No, not a good idea at all Tove … No walking!

But to take a walk is a great way to burn some extra calories and also a very nice way to clear your mind.

It could be a way for you to figure out how to do to achieve your New Year’s resolutions or perhaps get a moment alone and daydream for a while.
(Actually, did you know that people who daydream more frequently fulfill their dreams than those who don’t!)

You could also take the walk together with a friend or your partner.
An excellent way to get some exercise and in the same time catch up with each other. Fantasize together about warm and sandy beaches or maybe icy ski slopes? Well, I do not know what you prefer, or what your dreams are swirling about right now. But I am sure that there are many great dreams, hopes and goals here at ShapeUp Club! So take a walk and pretend for a moment that you reached them. See yourself succeed! The likelihood that you will achive your goal gets so much higher if you fantasize about it!

Well, maybe not such a stupid idea to take a walk after all..?

Sweden is really cold right now, but quite beautiful as well, just have a look at these trees!

..no, don’t get me wrong, I still fantasize about warm beaches and blue oceans!
