Fall presents its own unique workout challenges. Exercising outside is enjoyable, until it gets too cold, rainy, or dark before you break a sweat. Life becomes crazy busy as school and fall activities start again. We are here to remind you how important it is to exercise and take care of your body. Here are some tips for exercising during the fall.
Take a Jog Through the Woods
It is a pleasure to exercise in the fall weather as long as you can find free time during the afternoon hours. If your MO is jogging through the neighborhood, change things up and try a jog in the woods. The forest trees will delight your senses with their gorgeous colors and crisp breezes. The uneven terrain will present an element of difficulty to your exercise regiment and challenge your balance.
Be An Active TV Watcher
Exercise does not have to happen outside of your house and it does not have to take a lot of effort. If you need to incorporate exercise into your life but you are not sure where to start, try getting your heart going while watching your favorite fall TV shows. WebMd.com suggest utilizing the commercial breaks to practice lunges, do squats, jumping jacks, stretches, yoga stances, lift weights, or do sit-ups. Your body will thank you for multitasking.
Take a Class
With the kids in school, you might use the open spaces of time to sign up for a gym visit or exercise class like Zumba or Pilates. Try finding a class that fits between the time when the kids get on the bus and you start your work day. If you already go to a regular class, switch it up! Try a new exercise and stay fresh while working different parts of your body.
