Refocus your wellbeing with some winter sun

The winter weather in the UK makes it harder to keep focus on your diet and exercise. When it’s lashing down with rain, lacing up the trainers for a jog outside isn’t half as appealing as sitting in by the fire with some comfort food. It could be that a bit of winter sun to escape the impending chill, could re-energise your wellbeing journey to see you through the winter months.

The benefit of warmer climates

As we scroll through Instagram for some fitspiration, the sunny skies and soft beach backdrops of key wellness ambassadors including Emily Skye, Tanya Poppett and Amanda Bisk are a welcome distraction from the cold British weather. At first glance you might assume big-budget exotic location shoots, but in actual fact these Instagram stars are all Australian and the backdrop is simply their everyday environment.

The Aussie climate inspires a more active lifestyle simply because people tend to spend more time outdoors. There’s also access to beautiful fresh produce all year round, which means it’s easier to make better food choices and eat clean. So, if you’re looking for some inspiration to stay focused on your well-being in the winter weather, visiting one of the most health and wellness-focused nations Australia could be a great idea.
