Swimsuit season may be over, but that doesn\u2019t mean you have to let yourself go. Many advertisements force you to think that fall is a time to get cozy with a fattening pumpkin spice latte. Don\u2019t let an extra layer of clothing cause you to pack up and put away your workout attire or avoid gyms and workout classes. There is a balance to this new season, and you practice both comfort and dynamic activity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You may be drawn to the coziness and mindfulness that this season inspires. You\u2019ll have plenty of time to be cozy, but you also have a lot of energy to expend. Keep the excitement and maintain workout momentum<\/strong> by getting creative this fall with unique autumn activities. Gym goers may keep their regular routines, but others may want to continue the outdoor lifestyle they maintained during summer. Continue reading to learn about activities to keep you active throughout fall<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you have the proper cold weather attire<\/a> and gear, you\u2019re more likely to stick to your exercise goals. Extra layers, water\/windproof shells, merino wool socks, and more can make a big difference in your comfort level. You do not need to drop a fortune on an entirely new workout wardrobe, though. Invest in a couple new pieces of clothing, such as a fleece or reflective rain jacket, to help you stay safe and comfortable during outdoor workouts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Whether you want to go for a hike or run the trails, a softer surface can help reduce the impact on your joints. That means investing in a quality pair of trail-running shoes<\/a> with great support can help save your knees and ankles. Uneven terrain can also increase cognitive motor function and overall coordination. Taking a break from listening to music or podcasts can also help you tune into nature. Researchers suggest that running on a trail and listening to nature sounds can improve mental health<\/a> more than drowning out nature sounds with loud music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Is your current workout regimen causing you to lose interest? Perhaps you are not developing the strength or mobility that you want to achieve. A new workout class may help reignite your love for physical activity. Pilates<\/a>, for example, may help improve core strength<\/a> and flexibility. If you belong to a gym, consider taking part in their group classes. If you don\u2019t have a gym membership, consider ClassPass, which helps you try classes at different locations in a commitment-free way. You can also try out a streaming workout service from the comfort of your own home.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n National parks offer some of the best terrain in the country. The best part of exploring them during fall is that you are not oppressed by the same heat that exists during summer. Plus, parks are usually less-crowded, making trails a bit easier to navigate. Campsites are also less crowded as a result, if you enjoy camping. Maybe you want to take a beginner rock climbing course or start mountain biking in Moab, Utah. Whatever your adventurous desires are, we encourage you to attempt them and tackle activities with nothing but excitement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Pumpkins are starting to show up in different stores. You may buy one or two and put it outside your home until you carve it closer to Halloween. That\u2019s fine and dandy, but what if you use that pumpkin as a weight and engage in a creative pumpkin workout? Treat your pumpkin like a medicine ball or kettlebell and engage in some lower body workouts. You can do a lunge with a twist, goblet squat holding the pumpkin under your chin, or perform thrusters, squatting with the pumpkin and then pressing it above your head. There are many people who have developed pumpkin workouts online, so give the old Google a search and see what you find!<\/p>\n\n\n\nLayer Up Against The Elements<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
