We’ve all been there. During summer literally all of Berlin seems packed with beautiful, super fit people hanging around semi-naked and looking like they just jumped out of a fitness-Instagram channel. The problem is, regarding your own fitness, you wouldn’t dare hang around these super humans to practice your yoga skills, running stamina or doing sit-ups. What seems annoying but nonetheless joyful in the summer becomes practically impossible during wintertime: doing sports outside. But, you might ask, how and when should you achieve your perfect summer body?
Together with the newly opened gym JOHN REED Fitness Music Club, we wrote down a series of serious (and not-so-serious) reasons why you should avoid doing outdoor sports in Berlin in winter. As an alternative, we are not only recommending you this new fitness club right in the middle of the city, but also raffling out two full-year memberships. Not bad right? Check out our little GIF series after the jump.
As the temperature drops below 10 degrees, your lazy side (in German we say Schweinehund, like lazy as a dog and a pig combined) starts throwing a party in your subconscious.
.
.
So you’d rather stay inside your cozy house and pretend to do some exercise in front of your favorite Netflix series.
.
.
But your results are as unconvincing as your home routine from the random YouTube channel you just found.
.
.
When outside, you won’t impress anybody with your crazy yoga skills in the park.
.
.
While your winter jogging outfit has the kind of shape that makes you look like a marshmallow.
.
.
And you better watch your step! Running outside looks more like ice skating.
.
.
Even when you have some abs or muscles, showing them off outside is not a good idea.
.
.
On the plus side: you don’t need to worry about your facial expressions. Nobody will even see you have a face!
