Wir n\u00e4hern uns dieser schrecklichen Zeit, in der es bereits dunkel ist, wenn wir das B\u00fcro verlassen. Das kalte Wetter signalisiert unserem K\u00f6rper, sich zu beruhigen, faul zu werden und sich auf den bevorstehenden Winter vorzubereiten. Wir scheinen unsere Motivation etwa zur gleichen Zeit zu verlieren, zu der die B\u00e4ume ihre Bl\u00e4tter verlieren. Vielen Dank auch, evolution\u00e4r best\u00e4tigte Genetik. Wir haben jedoch ein paar einfache Tricks, die Ihnen helfen, im Winter positiv und motiviert zu bleiben.<br\/>\n<br\/><strong>MACHEN SIE SICH BEREIT<\/strong><br\/>\n<br\/>Der offensichtlichste Grund f\u00fcr schlechte Laune im Winter ist die <strong>Mangel an Tageslicht<\/strong>. Bei einem regul\u00e4ren Arbeitsalltag von 9 bis 17 Uhr haben wir kaum Zeit, gesundheitsf\u00f6rderndes Vitamin D zu tanken. Aber wie kann uns die Sonne dabei helfen, M\u00fcdigkeit und Lethargie zu bek\u00e4mpfen? Der Hauptgrund h\u00e4ngt mit dem Hormon Melatonin zusammen, das unser K\u00f6rper nachts produziert, damit wir wie ein Baby schlafen k\u00f6nnen. Sonnenlicht ist das Gegenmittel zu Melatonin, es hilft unserem K\u00f6rper, die Melatoninkonzentration im Blut zu senken und uns wacher zu f\u00fchlen. Sorgen Sie also daf\u00fcr, dass Sie Ihre t\u00e4gliche Dosis Sonnenlicht bekommen, wenn Sie nicht Anfang Februar zu einem schl\u00e4frigen Zombie werden wollen. Versuchen Sie, jeden Tag mindestens 15 Minuten Sonnenlicht zu tanken, z. B. mit einem kleinen Spaziergang nach dem Mittagessen, denn normale Fensterscheiben filtern das UV-Licht, das unsere Schl\u00e4frigkeit bek\u00e4mpft.<br\/>\n<br\/><strong>GESUNDE ERN\u00c4HRUNG HILFT<\/strong><br\/>\n<br\/>W\u00e4hrend der Sommer die perfekte Zeit f\u00fcr frisches Obst und gesunde Salate ist, f\u00fchlt sich der Winter eher wie \u00fcppige Abendessen und Weihnachtss\u00fc\u00dfigkeiten an, jeden Tag von Oktober bis Januar. Aber gerade im Winter braucht unser K\u00f6rper diese <strong>Vitamine und Mikron\u00e4hrstoffe<\/strong> mehr denn je, um gesund und gl\u00fccklich zu bleiben. Eines wollen wir klarstellen: Was am Weihnachtstisch passiert, bleibt auch am Weihnachtstisch. F\u00fcr andere Wintertage gibt es viele gesunde Rezepte, die uns gut tun, zum Beispiel eine wohltuende rote Linsensuppe oder gesunde K\u00fcrbis-Pommes.<br\/>\n<br\/><strong>Bewegung ist dein Freund<\/strong><br\/>\n<br\/>Sie haben es erraten: Sport ist nat\u00fcrlich eine gro\u00dfartige M\u00f6glichkeit, unsere innere Tr\u00e4gheit zu \u00fcberwinden. Und wir sprechen hier nicht einmal von Neujahrsvors\u00e4tzen wie \u201cIch werde jeden Tag trainieren, 40 Pfund abnehmen und mit dem Rauchen aufh\u00f6ren\u201d, denn diese halten in der Regel nur ein paar Tage. Studien haben gezeigt, dass zwei- bis dreimal pro Woche Sport treiben einen signifikanten positiven Einfluss auf unser Wohlbefinden hat \u2013 das klingt machbar. Da der Anfang beim Sporttreiben meist am schwersten f\u00e4llt, setzen Sie sich ein niedriges Ziel, z. B. f\u00fcnf Minuten Sport. Machen Sie w\u00e4hrend der n\u00e4chsten Werbepause ein paar Kniebeugen und Sit-ups. Danach k\u00f6nnen Sie sofort aufh\u00f6ren und sich wieder auf Ihre geliebte Couch legen. Fun Fact: In diesen 300 Sekunden ist Ihr Endorphinspiegel h\u00f6chstwahrscheinlich in die H\u00f6he geschossen und Sie werden weitermachen wollen. \u00dcbrigens m\u00fcssen Sie nicht stundenlang durch den Schnee laufen oder einen Zweitwohnsitz im Fitnessstudio anmelden: a <strong>Schnelles und intensives 20-min\u00fctiges Training<\/strong> ist v\u00f6llig ausreichend.<br\/>\n<br\/><strong>GUTE ALTE VERH\u00c4RTETE GEWOHNHEITEN<\/strong><br\/>\n<br\/>Seien wir ehrlich: Manchmal sind unsere Batterien einfach leer und wir wollen nichts weiter, als uns im Bett zu entspannen und unsere Lieblingsserie zu schauen. Das ist in Ordnung, denn wenn unser K\u00f6rper nach Ruhe verlangt, sollten wir darauf h\u00f6ren. Damit dieses gelegentlich auftretende Netflix-Syndrom jedoch nicht chronisch wird, ist es gut, einige Routinen parat zu haben. Routinen sind daf\u00fcr bekannt, dass sie Dinge einfacher machen, aber sie <strong>es schwer machen, Dinge nicht zu tun<\/strong>. Deshalb m\u00fcssen wir daf\u00fcr sorgen, dass wir so schnell wie m\u00f6glich gesunde Gewohnheiten entwickeln, solange noch etwas intrinsische Motivation vorhanden ist. Und pl\u00f6tzlich \u00e4ndert sich die Frage \u201cMuss ich heute ins Fitnessstudio gehen?\u201d zu \u201cNat\u00fcrlich gehe ich heute ins Fitnessstudio, es ist Donnerstag!\u201d.<br\/>\n<br\/>\u00a0<br\/>\n<br\/>Bild von stocksolutions\/Shutterstock<br\/>\n<\/div>\n   <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- row category header -->\n<div class=\"row rowCategoryHeader\" style=\"grid-template-columns:1fr\">\n    <div class=\"col\" style=\"display: flex; align-items: baseline;\">\n        <h2 class=\"bgPuma\">\n            <span>Was gibt es sonst noch?<\/span>\n        <\/h2>\n    <\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"row articleMulti4 spacing\">\n\t    <div class=\"col articleTeaser\" >\n\t\t\t<a class=\"hoverzooma  scrollAnim\" href=\"https:\/\/www.puma-catchup.com\/de\/sports\/stay-shape-winter\/\" \n\t\t\t     tabindex=\"-1\" \n\t\t\t    id=\"4733\"\n\t\t\t     style=\"width:100%;position:relative;overflow:hidden;\t\t\t    aspect-ratio:1\t\t\t    ;\" >\n\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\"\n\t\t\t    class=\"hoverZoom\"\n\t\t\t    src=\"https:\/\/www.puma-catchup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/workingout_H.jpg\" style=\"transition: 0.35s all;height:100%;width:100%;\t\t\t    object-position: 50% 0%; object-fit: cover;\"\/>\n\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.puma-catchup.com\/de\/category\/sports\/\" class=\"secondary2\" style=\"margin-top: 17px;\">Sport<\/a>\n\t        <h4>Wie man im Winter in Form bleibt<\/h4>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"description shortExcerpt\">\n\t\t\t\tWenn die Tage k\u00e4lter, dunkler und k\u00fcrzer werden, wird unsere Motivation, k\u00f6rperlich aktiv zu bleiben, auf die Probe gestellt.

We are approaching that dreadful time where it\u2019s already dark once we leave the office. The cold weather signals our body to calm down, get lazy and prepare for the upcoming winter. We seem to lose our motivation around the same time the trees lose their leaves. Thanks for nothing, evolutionary-approved genetics. However, we have a few simple tricks that will help you stay positive and motivated in the wintertime.\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;BRACE YOURSELF\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;The most obvious reason for being in a bad mood during winter is the \\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;lack of daylight\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt;. Assuming a regular 9 to 5 working schedule, we have little to no time to soak up health-promoting vitamin D. But how can the sun help us beat fatigue and lethargy? The main reason is connected to the hormone melatonin, which our body produces at night to let us sleep like a baby. Sunlight is the antidote for melatonin, it helps our body to reduce the melatonin concentration in our blood and to feel more awake. So make sure to get your daily dose of sunshine, if you don\u2019t want to turn into a sleepy zombie by early February. Try to sneak in at least 15 minutes every day, e.g. with a little stroll after lunch, because regular windowpanes will filter the UV light that cures our drowsiness.\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;HEALTHY FOOD HELPS\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;Whilst summer is the perfect time for fresh fruits and healthy salads, winter feels more like opulent dinners and Christmas candy every day from October to January. But especially in the wintertime, our body needs those \\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;vitamins and micronutrients\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt; more than ever to stay healthy and happy. Let\u2019s get one thing straight: what happens at the Christmas dinner table, stays at the Christmas dinner table. For other winter days, there are a lot of healthy recipes that will make us feel better, for example comforting red lentil soup or healthy pumpkin fries.\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;EXERCISE IS YOUR FRIEND\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;You guessed it, working out is \u2013 of course \u2013 a great way to overcome our inner sloth. And we\u2019re not even talking about the \u201cI\u2019ll work out every day, lose 40 pounds and quit smoking\u201d type of New Year\u2019s resolutions because those usually only last a few days. Studies have proven that working out two to three times a week has a significant positive impact on our wellbeing \u2013 sounds doable. As starting a workout is usually the biggest struggle, set a low goal for yourself, e.g. five minutes of sports. Do some squats and sit-ups during the next commercial break. Afterwards, you\u2019re free to stop immediately and return to your beloved couch. Fun fact: in those 300 seconds, your endorphin levels have most likely skyrocketed and you\u2019ll keep on moving. By the way, you don\u2019t need to run through the snow for hours or register a secondary residence in the gym: a \\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;quick and dirty 20-minute workout\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt; is absolutely sufficient.\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;GOOD OL\u2019 STICKY HABITS\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;Let\u2019s face the truth: Sometimes our batteries are just empty and all we want to do is relax in bed and binge-watch our favourite TV series. That\u2019s ok because when our body asks for rest, we should listen.

We are approaching that dreadful time where it\u2019s already dark once we leave the office. The cold weather signals our body to calm down, get lazy and prepare for the upcoming winter. We seem to lose our motivation around the same time the trees lose their leaves. Thanks for nothing, evolutionary-approved genetics. However, we have a few simple tricks that will help you stay positive and motivated in the wintertime.\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;BRACE YOURSELF\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;The most obvious reason for being in a bad mood during winter is the \\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;lack of daylight\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt;. Assuming a regular 9 to 5 working schedule, we have little to no time to soak up health-promoting vitamin D. But how can the sun help us beat fatigue and lethargy? The main reason is connected to the hormone melatonin, which our body produces at night to let us sleep like a baby. Sunlight is the antidote for melatonin, it helps our body to reduce the melatonin concentration in our blood and to feel more awake. So make sure to get your daily dose of sunshine, if you don\u2019t want to turn into a sleepy zombie by early February. Try to sneak in at least 15 minutes every day, e.g. with a little stroll after lunch, because regular windowpanes will filter the UV light that cures our drowsiness.\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;HEALTHY FOOD HELPS\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;Whilst summer is the perfect time for fresh fruits and healthy salads, winter feels more like opulent dinners and Christmas candy every day from October to January. But especially in the wintertime, our body needs those \\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;vitamins and micronutrients\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt; more than ever to stay healthy and happy. Let\u2019s get one thing straight: what happens at the Christmas dinner table, stays at the Christmas dinner table. For other winter days, there are a lot of healthy recipes that will make us feel better, for example comforting red lentil soup or healthy pumpkin fries.\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;EXERCISE IS YOUR FRIEND\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;You guessed it, working out is \u2013 of course \u2013 a great way to overcome our inner sloth. And we\u2019re not even talking about the \u201cI\u2019ll work out every day, lose 40 pounds and quit smoking\u201d type of New Year\u2019s resolutions because those usually only last a few days. Studies have proven that working out two to three times a week has a significant positive impact on our wellbeing \u2013 sounds doable. As starting a workout is usually the biggest struggle, set a low goal for yourself, e.g. five minutes of sports. Do some squats and sit-ups during the next commercial break. Afterwards, you\u2019re free to stop immediately and return to your beloved couch. Fun fact: in those 300 seconds, your endorphin levels have most likely skyrocketed and you\u2019ll keep on moving. By the way, you don\u2019t need to run through the snow for hours or register a secondary residence in the gym: a \\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;quick and dirty 20-minute workout\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt; is absolutely sufficient.\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;GOOD OL\u2019 STICKY HABITS\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;Let\u2019s face the truth: Sometimes our batteries are just empty and all we want to do is relax in bed and binge-watch our favourite TV series. That\u2019s ok because when our body asks for rest, we should listen. But to prevent this occasionally occurring Netflix-syndrome from becoming chronic, it is good to have some routines up our sleeves.
