As the local pumpkin patches open up and everyone’s heading to Apple Hill for their cider and pie fix, it’s easy to get caught up in the excitement of fall activities and put your fitness routine on the back burner. Between weekend trips, cozy fall foods, and the earlier sunsets, staying active can feel like a challenge. But with a few tweaks, you can keep moving and still enjoy everything the season has to offer—without falling into the trap of inactivity. Let’s talk about how you can stay on track as fall kicks into gear!
Get Outdoors While You Can
Fall weather in Rocklin is a perfect opportunity to take your workouts outside. The temperatures are more manageable than the heat of summer, and it’s not yet too cold. Hit a local trail for a brisk hike, take a walk through the pumpkin patches, or even consider a jog around the neighborhood. Whether it’s after work or on a weekend, schedule these activities before daylight hours start to slip away. Think of them as mini adventures that keep you moving while soaking up that fall scenery.
Embrace Routine (Even When the Sun Isn’t Cooperating)
The early sunset might make you feel like crawling into bed by 7 PM, but sticking to a routine will help you fight that temptation. Shift your workouts to earlier in the day when you have more energy. If mornings aren’t your thing, carve out 20-30 minutes before dinner for a quick session. Consistency is key. Find a time that works for you and make it a non-negotiable part of your day—kind of like brushing your teeth, but way more fun!
At Shred 27, our quick and effective 27-minute HIIT sessions make it easy to fit in a workout, no matter how busy your schedule gets. It’s short, intense, and gets the job done, leaving you with plenty of time to enjoy those fall treats guilt-free.
Create Indoor Alternatives
If the cooler evenings start to creep in and outdoor workouts aren’t as appealing, don’t worry—you’ve got options! Set up a home workout space or join a local gym (like Shred 27!) for indoor training. Consider picking up a set of dumbbells or resistance bands to add variety to your home workouts. Another great option is online workout videos that you can do right from your living room. The key here is to make it easy and accessible so that when you’re crunched for time or daylight, you still have a way to stay active.
Get the Most Out of Your Fall Activities
Remember, you can stay active even while enjoying the fun of fall. Heading to Apple Hill? Walk those hills! Pumpkins to pick? Turn it into a squat session (you’ll get a better pumpkin if you really squat down to check the whole patch, right?). Make everything a little more active, and you’ll get more movement in without even thinking about it.
Accountability and Community
One of the best ways to stay committed is to find support. Whether it’s a friend, family member, or your fitness community, having accountability keeps you consistent. At Shred 27, we’ve got an entire team dedicated to your success. Our supportive coaches and community of like-minded women make it easy to stay on track. Not only do you get expert guidance, but also a group of people cheering you on.
