Get everyone Sam Wood here with this week's motivational moment. I'm happy we're going to talk about getting a spring and that is a put Oh, yes, that is a pun in your step. I think we're really hard on ourselves with how we change our behavior or going to our shelves a little bit in winter. It's kind of meant to happen. Most of us are coming out of a winter sleep because we're supposed to eat differently and move differently in winter. There's a natural lack of motivation
over the last three months that we've all experienced. But I'm going to share with you my three very simple top tips to get that spring back in your step now that spring is around the corner. Number one, get some morning sun and air. And I was chatting with a friend the other day and they said, I know, I feel so much better when I walk, But it's
just getting started. Of course, it's just getting started. You've just got I have the strength to say I'm going to get to the end of my street, which sounds ridiculous, but you're never going to turn around. If you've taken the time to put your shoes on and get dressed, you are not going to get thirty meters down the road and turn around and go back home again and go tick that box. You will do twenty to sixty minutes.
Walking is so underrated as a form of exercise and burning calories, and the extra benefit of getting that fresh air, getting that vitamin D on the face, on the skin is so powerful. So get out, take a big deep breath, get some fresh air, get some sun as early in the day as you can. I'm going to divert for one second. Everyone says, somemer bodies are made in winter, and I totally get it. Yep, great saying some bodies are made in spring, because everyone comes to me to say,
what can I do? What can I do? What can I do for my summer holiday? And they've left it, They've got a month to go. Now is the time. The amount you can change your body and your habits in eight to twelve weeks. And trust me, I've seen this in the tens of thousands. I'm speaking well and truly from experience. Will blow your mind. If you want to lose fifteen gilos between now and summer, you can. If you want to be in the best shape of your life and you're forty five between now and summer
and you're in okay shape, you can. Don't set the bar too low. What you can achieve in twelve weeks, if you actually apply yourself, will blow you away. I witness it firsthand on a daily basis, So please don't don't think it's not possible or think or even worse, think what others achieve you can't, because you absolutely can if you apply yourself. Number two, let's change up our diet and start eating seasonally. Let's move away from those heavy foods a little bit and get into seasonal fruits,
seasonal veggies. Love salads with a few grains in them. Get the barbecue out, eat outside, Let's cook outside, eat outside, and embrace the fresh spring produces. They're all starting to come into season, and it's almost a new little treat on a weekly or fortnightly basis through spring and summer. It's like, oh, the cherries are here, Ooh, the pineapple's here, ooh, the watermelon's here, or even foods that have been around all year round, but now they just taste good. You know.
It's like, ah, watermelon's always been there, but doesn't tasted that good for six months. So start to embrace those fresh seasonal foods. The next one, let's change up your workout plan. Let's come up with something fresh. If you've been doing okay but in a pretty consistent routine. One of my favorite sayings, if nothing changes, nothing changes, So let's shake it up. Let's set ourselves a challenge. Let's do an extra workout. Let's do a different type of
workout that gets out of our comfort zone. Let's make a twenty minute workout a thirty minute workout. Let's lock ourselves in for a fun run. Let's do a boxing class with a friend, whatever it might be. But I don't want you to do the same routine in spring that you did in winter or autumn. I need you to change at least one thing that is going to cause that little ripple effect, that little shock to your body, and get things perhaps if they've started to plateau moving again.
That is you listen to us for this week, want to hear your feedback to what you've changed or how you've gone with implementing these three simple spring steps. And I look forward to walking past you in the street with a big smile in your face soon. So
