Avoid Winter Weight Gain

April 17, 2015 2 min read

While we are at the tail end of it, many of us are feeling the effects of a long, cold winter. Unfortunately, winter weather doesn’t usually encourage us to get outside and get active with rollerblading, bike rides or runs. Instead, we find comfort in staying at home, cuddled up with a blanket and enjoying warm, hearty dishes such as soups and stews. What’s more is that the lack of sunshine in the northern hemisphere brings about another factor that plays into maintaining a heavier winter weight its called Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). It is said that up to 30 % of Americans and up to 50% of Canadians suffer from SAD each year. If you’re like most people with SAD, your symptoms start in the fall and may continue into the winter months as sun exposure becomes less and less, zapping your energy and making you feel moody. Symptoms of SAD:

tiredness
fatigue
depression
crying spells
irritability
trouble concentrating
body aches
loss of sex drive
poor sleep
decreased activity level
overeating
weight gain

How to avoid SAD & Winter Weight Gain: In the winter months, when most of us generally spend more time indoors, it is imperative to be proactive with supplementation of vitamin D. This is a vitamin that our body can make with moderate sun exposure everyday or every other day. Like most people, if you aren’t able to spend the winters down south, be sure to protect yourself with a high quality vitamin D supplement. Liquid vitamin D is the most bioavailable and easily absorbed so I would recommend that. While supplementation is crucial during these winter months, coupling it with regular exercise and a balanced diet will hit your results out of the park. Be sure to stay on track with your balanced diet and your physical activity all winter long!

Shipping & Delivery

Due to COVID-19, shipping systems the world over are experiencing abnormal delays. There is an enormous demand on postal and delivery services as online shopping has skyrocketed, due to store closures and stay-at-home mandates. This is an unprecedented situation, and we are working around the clock to fulfill your orders as quickly as possible. To be clear, we are filling orders in 4-6 days, and we are shipping immediately after that. Once shipped, our shipping partner, UPS, will get your order out to you as quickly as possible. Thanks for your support and understanding.

Are you in Canada? Specifically, are you outside of a metropolitan centre? We need to alert you to a disruption in shipping due to COVID-19. Our preferred shipping provider, UPS, has informed us that they cannot guarantee express shipping for many locations. We have also seen that packages delivered to Toronto, Ottawa, Vancouver, etc, are not waylaid, but packages delivered to areas just outside of these cities are being held in transit for days or even weeks. UPS has discontinued their guarantee of 1-4 day delivery, which you can read more about here. Therefore, we can guarantee early fulfillment but not early delivery of our goods from our warehouse to your door at this time.

We want you to start your fitness journey with us as quickly as possible, that’s why we send every package to the USA & Canada via expedited or standard shipping (whichever is faster) with our partners at UPS. Once your order has been processed successfully we try to have your shipment prepared within 4-6 business days, and it typically takes 2-4 days to get to you once it leaves our warehouse.

We currently DO NOT SHIP to locations outside of the US and Canada. We DO NOT ship to a P.O. Box number.

We ship all of our physical products with UPS, from our warehouse location in Kingston, Ontario, Canada. Sometimes delivery can be delayed by circumstances out of our control, like postal & custom delays, back-ordered products or incorrectly entered shipping addresses. If there is a delay at Customs, a representative of UPS may contact you to provide your identification in order to receive your package. Please do this ASAP: Customers will be responsible for any additional shipping fees for failure to provide the required information to release a shipment.

Make sure when checking out and paying for your order that all of your information entered is correct! If you notice a mistake in your address, please try to contact us before your order is processed for shipping to avoid any missed shipments or delays. As soon as we process your order for shipping, you will receive a shipping confirmation email that contains your UPS tracking number. You can head on over to the UPS Website to see where your products are. Note: tracking information may take 1-2 business days to be updated in the UPS system

If you are not home when your package is delivered, BodyRock is NOT responsible if it is stolen. Please contact us if this happens to you and we will provide you with all the information needed to take the next steps.
