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?

Thanks for stopping by!

Fitness outfit ideas for winter

Winter fitness outfit idea from top left: sweatshirt / leggings / shirt / spring nail polish / water bottle / sneakers / small tote /

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

New Year fitness routine 2026

pictured: water bottle / sneakers / leggings /

New year, new fitness routine! I am a little bit mad at myself. In 2025, I really got off track. It was hard for me to stick to my fitness routine, and it was also difficult to watch what I was eating. I am not going to list off all of my excuses. They should not have been used, and they were totally lame to be frank. So, as a result, I gained over ten pounds in one year. Yikes!

So, in 2026, I am getting back to business! I am, once again, skipping sugary snacks and dessert. In addition, I beefed up my workout routine for the new year, and I am making sure I stick to it. No excuses!

Since I am beginning this new fitness routine in the middle of winter, everything will be inside; with the exception of neighborhood walks on nice days. Bonus workouts! Love that!

I looked back on my previous fitness routine and decided I wasn’t getting enough cardio. Also, actually showing up to the gym helps too. Sooooooo, on that note. . .

Here is my revamped fitness routine for the new year, 2026!

  • Monday: Step + Core (25 min)
  • Tuesday: Mat Pilates
  • Wednesday: Spin + weights
  • Thursday: BodyCombat + Core (50 min)
  • Friday: 30 min walk, weather permitting + rest
  • Saturday: 30 min walk, weather permitting + rest
  • Sunday: Spin + weights

There it is! My new fitness routine for the new year. It has a mix of cardio, strength, and interval training. What are your new year fitness plans and goals?

Thanks for stopping by, and let’s get fit together in the new year!
