Here are 4 great ways to stay motivated and to help you shift your mindset into fitness this fall.
1. Take time to enjoy the scenery.
Crisp air, autumn leaves falling, the thought of pumpkin carving and apple picking… Fall is an intoxicating time of year! What better way to get a jump start on your exercise than by enjoying the outdoors?Plus, it makes it easier later on when the weather gets MUCH colder to work out outdoors if you have gotten your body adjusted to the cooler temps.
Remember that it gets darker earlier. So if you’re running outside after work, for example, make sure you wear some sort of light-reflecting clothing.
2. Make a commitment.
Fall is a reigning champion of fun-themed runs, costumed runs, and Turkey Trots. It goes on forever.Making a commitment by registering for a run is a great way to motivate and lock yourself into a fitness plan this fall.
Not only will you be already signed up, but you’ll also want to get training beforehand - which means you’ll need to get running.
Be sure to train in conditions similar to the actual event, which probably means you’ll need to follow the tip above and run outside.

3. Turn your TV binge into a workout opportunity.
There’s no debate about it - fall television is king!It’s so easy to get lost binge-watching the newest season of our favorite shows that we leave ourselves no time to get in any form of exercise.
But there’s an easy, convenient way to get yourself off the couch.

Great tips! I try not to skip my morning walks as far as possible!
ReplyDeleteThese are some great tips! I love working out.. I tried the 21 days rule (stretched it to 30) and it worked. I believe, choosing an exercise which makes you feel good, helps. It was pilates for me!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your wonderful comment on my last post.

ReplyDeleteCool post, Lux. I find it fairly easy to start a healthy habit ... it's the motivation to stay with it for the L O N G haul that wears me down. This is a timely post today as I see the pounds gradually creeping on again ...

Yes, getting is and keeping it motivated is ultimately important. I learned a couple of tips from this sharing.
ReplyDeleteI love my workouts and these are great tips! I love my free appliances and thank includes multiple apps and youtube videos. I also think it's great to make a commitment. I started a yoga instagram page, and now I feel a need to update and that keeps me motivated. Especially the feedback I get there x
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this article! I know it very good how important is to stay motivated. My personal secret - refreshing playlist and visiting new fitness classes to try something new. Lately I've tried Sphery. Super cool kind of fitness. Unfortunately, I didn't know that I could have got free training with this voucher https://sphery.ch/free-sphery-training/, anyway, it can come in handy other people.
