Hibernating

It’s fall here and that means the temperature is cooling down some, the humidity is gone (we live in the humid south), and the days are getting shorter. For most people, this time of year, it gets harder to get out of bed in the morning, and bedtime gets moved up some. Therefore, workouts tend to get pushed aside.

For some, this time of year is very motivating for working out. It’s time to put away the shorts and pull out the jeans. And if the jeans don’t fit quite as well as they did last time, then it’s off to the gym to work of those extra pounds!

As for me, I love to get outside and run or bike in the fall. The crisp, cool air makes it easier to breathe and the beautiful colors make a great distraction from the stresses of life.

Next week is when we set our clocks back and really experience the shorter days. That’s when most of us like to stay home and hibernate (eat delicious comfort food in our sweats and skip workouts). But don’t let that be you! Remain determined to get your workout in and keep working toward your goals! Don’t let the hibernating mood get the best of you.
