It’s officially fall! Thank goodness cooler weather is around the corner. No longer can you use summer heat as an excuse for not going outside.
If you still find it hard to become motivated, follow one of these suggestions:
Sign up for a run or walk event. My favorite website to view a list of local events is active.com. Most 5Ks allow both runners and walkers. Some events are shorter distances and great for the entire family. Find an event near you and start training.
Enroll in an outdoor class. What better way to end the year than being bold and adventurous. Most REI stores have a variety of classes – some are free, others cost a reasonable amount. It’s a great way to be active while learning something new.
Take a hike. Use alltrails.com to find nearby trails to explore. Trails vary in difficulty – pick one which corresponds to your level. Be sure to leave your review of the trail to help others.
There are many other ways to be active as the weather becomes more bearable. Balance your tailgating consumption with physical activity. Your body will thank you in the long run. What are you waiting for? Ready…set…go
