5 Fall Fitness Tips for You
September 23rd marks the first day of autumn! I love this season because temperatures are cool, layered looks are in, fall foliage is fabulous, and let’s not forget — all things pumpkin! Fall is a great time to start a new fitness routine or spruce up one you currently have. Be more proactive with your health and wellness now. It is the perfect time to fall into shape! Get it !?! Take advantage of the brisk, beautiful fall days coming your way. My 5 fall fitness tips will set you up with a good routine before the winter months roll in! Now, let’s get to it!
My 5 Fall Fitness Tips for You
1. Step outside. Take advantage of the weather and get your workout done outdoors. Running, hiking, walking, and cycling are perfect activities to embark on. The crisp hair and beautiful array of fall leaves will leave your senses renewed and energized. If you have a dog, take your furry friend on a walk and play in the leaves together! Grab your kids and make it a family affair to incorporate fitness!
2. Fitness fusion. Merge your everyday life with fitness. We have all heard it before…park your car further from the market, take the stairs instead of the elevator, and getting a workout sesh during lunch hour. All of these practices make a difference. Just little shifts like these really do make a difference! Tip: For your next meeting, suggest a walking one!
3. Renew yourself. Another component to fitness is your wellness….your emotional/spiritual state of being is key. Take the time to stretch properly after exercise. Better yet, book yourself a therapeutic massage session. Find a time during the day to meditate. Another one, that hits home for me is adding yoga practice. Practice self-love. Spend time alone with yourself or with a friend.
4. Have patience. Learn to have patience with yourself. New habits are not easily made. Don’t be discouraged when you have slipped up. Get back up and start anew with your fitness schedule. It takes about 4 weeks to adopt change. Staying consistent will help pay off. Don’t give up! It is worth doing, it will be hard.
5. Layer up. When the cool temperature turns cold it’s important to dress in layers. Your body needs to be warmed up before engaging in exercise and play. Once sufficiently warm, remove your jacket, cap, gloves, scarf or whatever you use to keep you toasty. Don’t forget when outdoors to wear some type of reflective material to keep you safe during the early and night hours of the day.
Well, this is it! They are probably tips you have heard before. But, sometimes having reminders will keep those basic and fundamental fitness tips in the forefront for fall! Do you have a fall fitness tip you would like to share? Are you excited about fall? Please, leave a comment below.

I love the leggings and the mini backpack!! I love your tips and I agree with having patience.
It’s so hard to get into a fitness routine when you work full time as an adult!! Such great tips- I’m hoping to get a new routine down this fall.

WHen the temperires are low it’s so hard to go outside. I prefer going to the gym Instead of running outside like I normally do in the summer
I am glad you found a routine that works for you! Isn’t fall temps just perfect for outdoors workouts and play? I love it! It is cooling down here in Orange County and it makes me so happy! Thanks for stopping by!
I can’t wait for the weather to cool off, but it’ll be a while for us in the South. Once it’s bearable outside, I plan to either walk or ride bikes to get my oldest to school. In the mean time, it’s only indoor workouts for me. I didn’t realize JC Penney has such great fitness clothing!
Hi Stephanie! I hope it cools down soon! Sounds like a great plan to walk your son to school! JCPenney does have a great selection of fitness apparel! xo
I love your leggings AND your fitness tips! I have really been trying to get back into yoga, but I just haven’t made the time for it yet. I’m calling it even though because my new office is on the third floor and there’s no elevator, just a very steep staircase! I feel like it definitely has made a difference so far!
Hi Paige! It definitely makes a huge difference! That is awesome! I can’t wait to get back to yoga too! I am planning for it this coming week. xo
Those are great tips. And I definitely think I would be more motivated if I had some cute workout clothes like those! I think I will shop first!
Hi Lois! I got my whole look at JCPenney! Thank you for the compliment. Do share with me what you find! xo
These are great tips, I basically live in workout clothes. All day everyday girl.
I am so happy you found my tips helpful! Thank you for reading! xo
Patience is definitely the best tip! Great post dear

These are some great tips! And I really love your picks!
Great tips! I can’t wait to get back to it when my daughter goes back to school… my fitness goes out of the window over the summer holidays!
I definitely need to take advantage of working out outdoors. It is so refreshing and invigorating especially during the fall. Thanks for the tips!
Great tips! Fall is the best time to go hiking!

Summer is definitely my time to be outside when working out, mostly because I can be on the water. Fall I tend to head indoors and forget to layer, but I definitely need to remember that!
These are all great tips, especially your point about fitness fusion! Everyday life can be turned into a brief fitness routine!
This is all such cute stuff. It always inspires me to work out when I feel like I look the part.
Haha, these are great tips – but my favorite one is: take advantage of the kids being back in school! (for me, this means long bike rides are possible during the day when hubby is at his office!)
These fitness tips are amazing. I need to try out more fitness fusion.
Great fitness outfit btw.

LAYERING! I always start with so many work out clothes layered together then end up stripping haha.
These are such important tips for starting any fitness routine. I think patience is the most important one to remember.

Having patience is what I struggle with most when working out. Ugh, it really is a virtue.
Those are some great workout tips! Also, I really like your entire work out outfit and the adorable backpack handbag.
Fall is one of my favorite times to focus on fitness because the weather is cooler so it’s easier to workout outside.
I love to workout outside all through the year but fall really is a wonderful time to do so! I really love the leggings you are wearing here!
these are great tips! I just recently started working out again after a looooong hiatus and I can use a few tips to get back in track!
This is a great look for working out. I love how relaxed and simple it is.
I love your look and the Nike hoodies you picked in the shoppable widget. Getting outside is so key before it gets too cold to do so haha

I tend to workout at home but I don’t get outside much to do things like running, walking, hiking, etc. I will definitely need to start doing that once the cooler fall weather arrives.
