Meetings follow one another, Excel tables fill up, the café empties, and poof! It’s just 5pm and it’s pitch dark. You’re still in the office, you’ve spent the day sitting in a chair, with your eyes glued to the screen, and you haven’t even seen the hours go by. As the end nears, you hesitate between going back under the duvet or doing a little exercise to wake up these strange little things we call “muscles” and who are very happy to hibernate peacefully. How did I understand you! If, like me, what you lack is not so much the desire but above all the motivation, here is something that will help you get started. (And if you prefer your down jacket, that’s fine too, we won’t judge you!).
Stay at home
The ideal solution for those who, like me, absolutely don’t want to face the December cold. Instead of dedicating yourself to sports, why not make sports come to you? For what, Youtube he is your best ally. A 20 minute video and that’s it. To do this, all you need is a rug and some space in your home (which isn’t always easy, especially in Paris, I’ll give you that). Here is a selection of accounts to follow:

Finding companions in trouble
First of all, if you’re ready to face the storm, well done. Here’s a virtual medal of courage!
For my part, I find that with more people it is easier. Inviting friends to run or do yoga helps motivate you. And if no one around you wants to suffer with you, or you want to ride the adrenaline of the group, I recommend you take a look at the website SwedishFit to find group sports lessons at a very low price (between 12 and 15 euros per session). You don’t need to subscribe, just book a session in the discipline you prefer, near you. These attractive prices are possible because the lessons take place in school gyms or other places that usually welcome the public, when places are vacant.
Choose the right dress
Motivation is often also a matter of convenience. This is why appropriate clothing, neither too hot nor too cold, contributes significantly to making your sports session an experience that you will want to repeat, even on winter nights. The brand lululemon for example, it offers a range of Yoga leggings, Align, designed in a soft, lightweight material that breathes well and allows for optimal flexibility without the risk of stretching the fabric. Some models can also be worn in the city with their slightly flared cut, enough to go directly from the office to class, without risking a return trip from which you are never sure of leaving again.
