As we head into the fall season, I am slightly varying my fitness routine. I have found I need to add more weights and core into my weekly routine. I had every intention earlier this year of doing weights on top of cardio a few times per week, but I wasn’t able to stick to that routine. So, I have put together a new routine mid-year which is easier for me to stick to.

The step class and core classes incorporate weights, so there are more weights in this routine than meet the eye.

In addition to fitness, I need to cut the sugary snacks. I had every intention at the start of the year to do exactly that, but I fell into the ice cream trap as soon as the weather warmed up. Sooooooo, I am back in the saddle, and I have cut out the ice cream and desserts. This is my current routine, and I am sticking to it!

  • Monday: Step + Core + Weights
  • Tuesday: Pilates
  • Wednesday: Spin
  • Thursday: BodyCombat
  • Friday: Spin + Core + BodyPump
  • Saturday: rest
  • Sunday: Spin

Well, that’s my current routine. I will stick to it this time! Wish me luck!

What is your fall fitness routine?

Fitness outfit ideas for winter

You may have already started a new fitness routine in the new year now that your schedule has freed up after the holiday season. This means warmer clothing for going to and from the gym, as well as while working out.

Shades of blue and white are hot this year, so why not incorporate them into your new fitness gear? I love mixing these two hues as they have a calming effect. It makes for the perfect fitness ensemble! After all, a little cardio relaxes us! So, let’s go all-out with the outfit too!

This season I have upped my weekly cardio sessions and also have been watching my caloric intake. So far, I have lost five pounds since new years! Love that! So, let’s do this together and stay on track! Plus, why not look cute too? haha

Fall fitness routine

It’s fall! This means moving my workouts mainly indoors and working hard to stay on track. In addition, my fitness gear is getting a little bit cozier so I can properly warm up for my workout.

When temperatures go down, I like to have a cozy sweatshirt and longer leggings so my muscles stay warm and aren’t stiff when my workout begins. It helps to be warm for warm-up! Also, it is good to switch up your workout sneakers every six months in order to ensure proper fit and support. Loving these new sneakers from Nike!

As far as my workout routine goes, it isn’t much different from summer with the exception of sticking to inside fitness versus hiking and outside walks.

  • Monday: BodyCombat (cardio)
  • Tuesday: Rest
  • Wednesday: Spin (cardio)
  • Thursday: HIIT (Cardio and strength, interval)
  • Friday: POP Pilates (Strength and core)
  • Saturday: Rest
  • Sunday: Spin, BodyPump, Core (cardio and strength)

Well, that’s my fall fitness routine and I try hard to stick with it. If weather permits, I will try to throw in something outside; especially on a Saturday.

I hope you have a fabulous fall fitness schedule and stay warm!

Thanks for stopping by!
