4 Fun Fall Exercises


The kids are back in school, the weather is cooling to a perfect crisp temperature, the leaves are changing color.  It’s the perfect time to get outside. Here are five fun fall exercises:

A Fall Hike

The best way to enjoy the changing colors, is to get our there and be in the middle of it. The time spent out in nature will do as much good for your mind as for your body. Pack a water bottle and head up the nearest trail, don’t forget your camera.  One of our favorite hikes at Unite Fitness Retreat is straight up Millcreek Canyon, it’s seriously amazing.

Mountain Biking

Nothing feels better than the breeze blowing through your hair as you ride your bike down a sidewalk.  The leaves crunching under your tires.  Explore parks in your area, they usually have great bike trails.

Raking Leaves

Get your kids involved and jump in a  pile of leaves!  You’ll burn tons of calories and get your yard cleaned up as well. Raking leaves is a great upper body workout and it’s sure to get you energized.

Kicking the Soccer Ball

Boredom is the number one killer of good health and fitness regimens. Exercising with a friend puts the fun back into your workout. Grab a soccer ball and kick it around, you may surprise yourself at your new skills.  If soccer isn’t your thing, try basketball or tennis.
