Hey friend! 🍂 Let’s get real for a second. Who doesn’t love “sweater weather”? Cozy sweaters, pumpkin spice, and those crisp fall mornings are all the vibe! But I’m here to let you in on a little secret: Fall isn’t just for bundling up—it’s the perfect time to sweat it out! 💩 That’s right, sweater weather is actually sweat-er weather in my book, and I’m about to tell you why.


Why Fall is the Perfect Season to Jump into a New Routine

A year ago, if you’d asked me if I loved the gym, I would’ve laughed and shown you to the door! The gym and I? We just weren’t a match. I always knew movement was important, but nothing really stuck until I switched things up and got myself a trainer for some good ol’ accountability. Shout out to my girl Sydni Lehr - best trainer ever! Now, I’m doing 2-3 strength training workouts a week and sprinkling in a relaxing yoga session whenever I can fit it in. And let me tell you—it has been life-changing. 🌟


Embracing Fitness in the Fall 🍂

So, what’s so special about fall? For one, we get a fresh start without the intense New Year’s pressure, and it’s a great time to set up some habits before the holidays. I find that fall also gives us cooler weather, which means no more excuse of “it’s too hot to work out”—am I right?


Here’s how I went from gym-averse to actually enjoying my routine (and trust me, if I can, anyone can):


1. Start Small and Simple đŸ’Ș

When I first began, it was one 30-minute session per week. That’s it. Small, manageable, and not too overwhelming. And you know what? It worked! I started feeling stronger and, most importantly, confident that I could actually make this a habit.


2. Find Workouts that Feel Good for You 😊I love adding a relaxing 60-minute yoga class to unwind. Yoga helps me destress, which has been huge for my mental wellness and for balancing my hormones.


Making Fall Fitness Part of Your Wellness Routine

I get it—the thought of working out can feel exhausting before you even start. But here’s the trick: focus on how good you’ll feel after each session. Plus, staying active doesn’t have to be hardcore; the idea is just to keep moving. Walking, stretching, a little strength training—it all counts. And honestly, having my routine is something I look forward to now because I know it’s keeping me grounded and helping me feel my best. I may not 'feel like' going, but I'm always glad I did when I'm done!


The Mind-Body Benefits of Working Out 🧠

The biggest surprise for me was just how much these workouts help balance stress and boost my mood. Movement isn’t just about the physical gains; it’s about the mental boost, too. When life gets a little crazy (and doesn’t it always?), there’s nothing like a good sweat session to clear my head.


So, What’s Next?

If you’re ready to embrace “sweat-er weather,” start small and take it one step at a time. Remember, this isn’t about transforming overnight; it’s about finding little ways to keep your body moving and your mind sharp. And hey, who knows? Maybe next year, you’ll be the one sharing how fall fitness transformed your routine, too.


Let’s make this fall about more than just cozy sweaters and pumpkin spice—let’s make it about feeling good inside and out! 🍁đŸ’Ș Ready to dive in? Find a local gym or trainer who supports 30 minute workouts. Another option is to find a trainer online! I love Pure Physique! C'mon! Let’s do it together!
