3 Reasons to Create Healthy Habits this Fall

 

Who doesn’t love fall? Crunchy leaves, crisp air, and pumpkin spice lattes. It also happens to be one of the best times of the year to create new habits and set new goals. Here’s why:

 

The Return of Routine

Warmer temperatures and late evening sunsets make for a less structured schedule during the summer months. It’s understandable that you might want to sip a glass of wine on the patio instead of getting in your regularly planned sweat session. Many of these temptations disappear with the evening sunlight, making fall the perfect time to start a new routine.

 

Embrace the Cooler Temps

While WERKing in the studio is one of the most important things you can do for your health, being active throughout the day is equally important. Since many of us spend our days sitting in front of a computer, we need to take special care to get up and move more during the day. Milder weather makes adding a walk outside during your lunch break or hiking on the weekend a bit more enjoyable.

 

The Holidays are Coming

As soon as the leaves start hitting the ground, you can be sure the holidays aren’t far behind. Soon our plates will be graced with turkey and all the fixings. And cookies. And pie… you get the idea. Practicing healthy habits in the months preceding such celebrations makes it more likely you’ll carry those habits throughout the holiday season and beyond.
