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.

As we move into the second quarter of another exciting year, I want to take a moment to reflect on our accomplishments and share some of the new initiatives we are implementing in the realms of sales, marketing and community engagement. Over the past year, GBU Life has reached significant milestones thanks to the dedication and hard work of our team and the trust and support of our members. Our sales department has exceeded targets, and we have expanded our reach to more communities than ever before. We have launched several successful marketing campaigns that have not only increased our visibility but have also strengthened our brand's presence in the industry. For this year, our focus will be educating potential new members on the importance of securing their financial futures through life insurance and annuity products while serving their communities as part of our great Society. Looking ahead, we are committed to enhancing our sales strategies to better serve you. We are introducing some tools for our agents to enhance our products. One new tool is our Defined Benefit Annuity program which combines the Future Flex Fixed Index Annuity (FIA) with a software tool that can help determine retirement savings needs and break them down into contributions over time to help you meet your retirement goals. Be sure to keep in touch with your GBU agent to review your plans and products to see how adding an FIA to your retirement planning can help boost your savings efforts
