During the winter months, the opposite of ‘moving’ or ‘doing’ occurs. Many people don’t feel motivated to do anything except sit inside by the fire and get warm.

It was the weirdest thing, I literally LOST my drive (in more ways than one, motivation and is part of the rowing stroke).
The drive in rowing is the part of the stroke where the rower pulls the blade through the water using their legs, back and arms to propel the boat. It is a fundamental part of the stroke, as the rowing is 80% leg muscle power. Don't believe me - try rowing; you'll soon realize it's all about the legs.
