Thank you to the ABC about the opportunity to talk about staying motivated to exercise during the winter months. Personally, in Perth I find it easier to exercise in winter than in the summer in scorching heat!!!

Try stacking these behaviors together during quarantine: every time you take off a mask, wash your hands. When you repeat an activity with several components, and you do them in the same way each time, your brain connects the actions together into a unit.
