As summer slips into fall, we transition from the carefree living of summer back into our regular routines. For many that means recommitting to regular exercise, healthy eating, and weight management. Fall is a season of transition and a natural time for committing to a healthy lifestyle. The first step is to acknowledge that a healthy lifestyle is a priority. You have to want this so, identify your internal motivators and then tap into them. When you remind yourself of how healthy habits improve your life, you’ll be more likely to stick with them. Secondly, schedule your exercise. Treat workouts as seriously as you would a doctor’s appointment – they are just as important for your health. Thirdly, catch the energy of cooler temperatures to become even more active. Fall is an invigorating season. Tap into that energy and use it to craft your perfect, healthful, rest-of-the-year routine.
