Fall Means New Fitness Opportunities! Here Are Four I’m Looking Forward To
Well my friends, as Cheryl over at Smitten noted this morning, Labor Day weekend has come and gone. While the unofficial end of summer is indeed a sad thing, I'm excited: Fall is my absolute favorite season of the year! It means a fresh start, cooler weather (thank goodness!) fresh apple cider, the return of boots, leggings, (not that I ever retired mine!) and other fall classics. It also means new fitness opportunities. Here are four I'm looking forward to:
1. Exercising outdoors in decent weather
I was getting a little tired of having to arrange my running schedule around the summer heat. Anybody else with me?
2. Scenic bike rides
I know, I totally could have biked in the summer, but for some reason, the idea of crunching colorful leaves with a pair of wheels is very tempting right now…
3. New classes at the gym
I love it when it's time for a new class schedule. At Crunch, they're offering Masala Bhangra, (I LOVE Bollywood tunes) a dance class based on the music and moves of FAME, and something called "Booty Slide"--haven't quite figured out what it is, but I'm SO there!
4. Fall races
There are tons of races, big and small, (5K, 10K, marathons, triathlons) happening in the fall. You don't have to be a serious racer to partake. It would be cool to gather a group of friends and sign up for one, just for fun!
How about you? What are you looking forward to, fitness-wise this fall? Are you going to try anything new? Please share!
