Fall into Fitness
You have no doubt felt the chill in the air indicating fall is here. Fall is a great time to start because you're going to create good habits for the holiday season and the upcoming winter months. Here are 3 great ideas to "fall into fitness."
1) Get outside. Take advantage of the cooler weather and take a walk outside. Fall is the
perfect time of year to see the aspens change.
2) Try something new. Check out some new classes like Yogalates, which is a mix of yoga and Pilates or
Zumba which is a
Latin dance class. Some local recreation center offer these classes and other wellness programs. Check with your local recreation center to learn more about fitness and wellness programs they offer to the community.
3) Be an active TV watcher. If you're going to sit down and watch hours of TV such as a football game or the
World Series, while you watch, you can walk or run in place and do standing lunges. During commercials, do push-ups or sit-ups or get outside and take a short walk.
