I have no idea what the weather will be like when this actually posts, but right now it is raining. What a welcome sound! The season is changing!
I love fall. Fall is the time of new beginnings, sharpened pencils, cooler temperatures, and renewed energy. It’s also a great time to start a new habit; all the kids are doing it!
May I suggest taking a look at what we’re doing for fitness? If we’ve been doing the same thing for months and months, our bodies are bored with it and our brains are likely bored, too. This might be the time to change heavy lifting for functional fitness, or vice versa. Maybe it’s time to throw in a little Pilates, or to try a different kind of yoga.
If we haven’t been exercising at all, this is still a good time to start. I always recommend that folks start with cardio because it is a great foundation for everything else and it has such mood-boosting power. Begin small and work up to 30 minutes on most days of the week.
We can do this!
