Fall Fitness Ideas

October 14, 2024
Fall is one of the most beautiful times of the year. It can also be one of the busiest times of the year with the kids
going back to school. Here are a few fall activities that can also serve as a workout.

Apple Picking
You can spend hours walking the apple orchard, looking for the perfect apples, all while burning a
ton of calories. Apple picking also requires overhead stretching, which is good for mobility.

Backpacking
For avid hikers, fall’s cooler temperatures provide ideal hiking conditions. The physical demands of outdoor exploration will keep you active. Fall provides for an immersive experience that allows you to disconnect from technology and reconnect with nature.

Outdoor Bootcamps
Many fitness trainers offer outdoor 
bootcamps in the fall. These workouts are high intensity and usually incorporate weights, resistance bands and bodyweight exercises. Working out in a group setting is a great way to make new friends, and they ultimately make the workout more enjoyable.

Leaf Raking
Turning a chore into a workout can be 
surprisingly effective. Raking leaves is a full-body exercise. It incorporates your arms, legs and core, and it also helps to improve cardiovascular function. It’s a great way to keep the yard tidy and keep you active. Just make sure to maintain proper form to prevent strain.
