Summer has just ended and fall is here. During this season many people become less active, eat more and exercise less. A lot has to do with the fact that summer holidays are over! People are all back to work and their children are back to school. People are back to the normal routine of their daily lives.

Just because summer has come to an end doesn’t mean you have to adopt a more sedentary lifestyle. You should still exercise regularly and eat properly. Sure work and your private life will put more stress on you, just look at exercise as a way to escape any stress in your life.

Here are my recommendations to exercise and stay healthy now that summer has unofficially come to an end.

First of all, when it comes to exercise, set your goals. Decide what days are best for you to work out, how long you want to workout and stick to your goals. Avoid missing days because over time it will become a bad habit!

Vary your workouts so that over time they do not become boring or monotonous. Perhaps incorporate weight training, cardiovascular exercise or exercise classes like Yoga into your workouts. Even varying your weight training over time will produce better results for you and prevent you from getting bored.

Most importantly, pace yourself. You may want to do lighter workouts from September to December and then pick it up in the New Year. In this way, you don’t burn yourself out or get bored of exercising by the time spring rolls around. Also, a lot of people use summer as their workout endpoint. By this I mean, they want to look good for the summer. Sort of like a fiscal workout year end!

Also, sometimes it’s good to take a couple of weeks off in a year from your workouts. A lot of people do this during the summer. This way it gives you a chance to get away from the gym and feel refreshed when you get back to exercising.

These are just my recommendations to stay fit, keep your workouts interesting and effective and to remain healthy throughout the year!
