With September finally here and cooler autumn days ahead, it can be a great time to start (or refresh) a fitness routine. Whether you take advantage of the season in the great outdoors or prefer watching the leaves change from inside a gym, here are three ways to pump up your exercise routine this fall.
1. HIT THE TRAILS
Walking, hiking, biking and running are easy, fun ways to get some exercise, whether alone or with a buddy. Explore your area’s trails and parks, or just enjoy the sidewalks in your own neighborhood.
2. FIND A GYM
If you prefer using weight machines, the pool or taking fitness classes, finding the right gym is key. Choose one with the services you’ll actually use, and many employers offer discounts for gym memberships — see if yours is one.
3. UPGRADE YOUR EQUIPMENT
It may seem otherwise these days, but here’s a secret: You don’t need brand-new, fancy clothes to work out. But a fresh pair of running shoes or a reflective shirt for evening walks can greatly enhance your comfort and safety.
