As the leaves start to change and the air turns crisp, there’s no better time to fall back into your fitness routine. The transition from summer to fall brings a unique opportunity to refocus, realign, and recommit to your health and wellness goals. Whether you’ve taken a break, need to ramp up your efforts, or are starting fresh, this season is all about consistency and building lasting habits.
Why Fall is the Perfect Season to start or get back to Fitness
- Routine Reset: Summer often brings a whirlwind of activities, vacations, and irregular schedules that can throw off even the most disciplined fitness routines. Fall offers a chance to reset and establish a more consistent daily routine.
- Ideal Weather: Cooler temperatures make outdoor workouts more comfortable and the fresh air is invigorating, making it easier to stay motivated and enjoy your outdoor fitness workouts.
- Fresh Start: The back-to-school season isn’t just for kids. It’s a natural time to set new goals, whether it’s starting or increasing your workout frequency, trying new fitness options/routines, or improving your nutrition.
- Holiday Preparation: With the holiday season around the corner, building a strong fitness foundation now can help you maintain your health goals through the more indulgent months ahead.
Consistency: The Key to Success
Consistency is most important in any successful fitness journey. It’s not about perfection or intensity; it’s about showing up, day after day, even when motivation wanes. Here’s how to stay consistent this fall:
- Set Realistic Goals: Start with achievable, short-term goals that build up to your larger objectives. This could be as simple as committing to two or three workouts per week, drinking more water or adding more vegetables to your meals.
- Schedule Your Workouts: Treat your fitness routine like any other important appointment. Block out time in your calendar and stick to it, whether it’s an Outdoor Fitness session first thing in the morning, a lunchtime outdoor walk, or an evening Outdoor Fitness class – book in for a Very Important appointment for yourself!
- Find What You Enjoy: Consistency comes easier when you enjoy what you’re doing. Explore different types of exercise until you find something that excites you. Whether it’s hiking, strength training, run club or ZEN, the key is to find your passion.
- Accountability Matters: Whether it’s a workout buddy, a personal trainer/coach, or our Outdoor Fitnesscommunity, having someone to check in or workout with, can keep you on track and motivated.
