Why Fall is a Great Time for a Fitness Reset
Fall is a wonderful season to reset your fitness routine! Whether it’s the cooler temperatures, the transition in energy from a fast-paced summer, or a different schedule, fall presents a unique opportunity to develop a new fitness routine. A new routine can carry you through the holiday season and into a new year.
Even if you’re not in a time of transition, everyone can benefit from something new to shake them up. Here are some easy ways to incorporate a fall fitness routine:
Revisit Your Goals
When planning your fall fitness goals and looking back at your previous workout schedule, it’s important to evaluate what worked and what didn’t. Setting small, measurable goals, like strength training three times per week, is a great way to track your progress and stay motivated.
Do You Know Your Why?
Setting goals is a crucial step toward achieving success in any area of life. However, simply jotting down a list of goals without taking the time to reflect on the underlying reasons behind them can often lead to a lack of motivation and ultimately, failure.
That’s why it’s important to dig deeper and understand the deep-seated motivations behind our goals, as this can provide us with a clearer sense of purpose and help us stay committed to achieving them.
Create a Plan
Developing a workout schedule minimizes the need to overthink your routine. Think about what days and times you’re going to work out and what activities you’ll include in each session. This is also a great way to incorporate outdoor workouts in the cooler weather.
We have created a plan and a journal just for you. Look no further than How to Crush Your Goals the Smart Way for guidance, whether you’re just starting out or need a nudge in the right direction. This is a post you don’t want to miss whether you are started out or just need a little nudge in the right direction.
Find Accountability
Finding a workout buddy can be incredibly beneficial in staying motivated. Check in with each other and ask for support when you’ve lost sight of your why. Having a workout partner can be incredibly beneficial in staying motivated and accountable towards your fitness goals. Not only does it provide a sense of companionship, but it also helps to keep you on track when life gets challenging.
When searching for a workout partner, look for someone who shares similar goals and has a compatible schedule. It’s important to find someone who is as dedicated as you are and committed to achieving their own objectives. This way, both of you can support and encourage each other throughout the journey.
Consistency
Have you ever missed a day or two of exercise? We know, everyone has. When you miss a day or two of physical activity, it becomes harder to get back on track. Intentional consistency is key to meeting your fitness goals. Keeping a regular schedule when it comes to exercise ensures that you reap the health benefits of your efforts.
Studies have shown that building momentum is one of the primary reasons people continue to exercise. The crisp fall air and cooler weather can enhance your outdoor exercise experience, making it a fun way to stay active.
When your mind continually thinks it is starting over at square one after many days (or weeks/months) of skipping workouts, motivation will drop off.
The truth is that no matter what we do in life it will be hard to achieve the success we want unless we work at it. The work has to be consistent day after day over the course of months and years. This is no different when it comes to your exercise programs.
Remember, effort and intensity are nothing without consistency!
