10 tips for exercising in the Fall
By Delaine Ross
1. Take advantage of the nice Fall weather:
Bike the Beltline or hike Stone Mountain.
2. Make sure to wear bright colors: It gets
darker earlier so you want to be safe!
3. Wear layers: You may start out cool, but as
your heart rate gets higher and you start to
sweat, you’ll want to be wearing fewer clothes.
4. We tend to get busier in the Fall, especially
with kids in after school activities. Carve
out a space for fitness by parking farther away
from the stores when running errands.
5. Fall is a time where we want to catch up on
the new season of our favorite shows. Do
body weight exercises such as pushups during
the commercial breaks.
6. Go pumpkin or apple picking with friends. This is a way to be active while
socializing.
7. Turn chores into exercise: Activites such as raking leaves can burn more than 100
calories in an hour.
8. Drink lots of water: Even though it isn’t hot outside.
9. Avoid holiday candy: Even the most avid exerciser can’t out-exercise handfuls and
handfuls of sugary candy.
10 .Wear sunscreen when exercising outside: Even though the sun may not be
blazing, harmful UV rays are finding their way to your skin. OS
