Exercising in the Fall

Exercising in the Fall

Fall brings changing of the leaves, football games, pumpkins, and cooler temperatures. With those cooler temperatures, many people decide to skip their exercise routine which can lead to a decline in your health. We understand going for a run in 50 degree temperatures may not be your idea of a great time so we wanted to provide you some alternatives to keep a exercise routine without baring the cold.

1. Bosu/Disc: A great way to both work on strengthening the core muscles that wrap around your waist and support your spine and improve your balance and coordination is with a new workout tool called a BOSU which stands for "both sides up." On one side it is a half of a balance ball on the other side it is a flat surface.
2. Exercise Ball: These days an exercise ball is a great tool to have and use at home. You can do a thorough workout on it, you can stretch on it and you can use it as a desk chair. Make sure to get the correct size. There are great videos that you can use to learn basic exercise routines.
3. Resistance Bands/Weights: In order to keep your muscles strong, you must stress them by resistance training. Dumbbell weights or resistance bands are great ways to strengthen your muscles. Resistance bands are great because they are easy to travel with. Take them on your next business trip and you won't miss a workout wherever you are.

If you are wanting more of a cardio workout, we would recommend a workout video or a cardio machine. For more ways to exercise in the fall months please click here.
