Fall Back to the Gym at Club Fit

When the weather turns iffy, it’s time to get back to the gym! To make the most out of your time at the gym, don’t just do the same machines each time you go, but take advantage of all your gym has to offer:

Hire a personal trainer. Fall is the perfect time to hire a pro and get your workouts on the right track from day one. Education is power!

Work out with a buddy. If you don’t like working out by yourself, grab a friend to exercise with you. Knowing you have to show up will keep you motivated, and it’s FUN!

Keep fitness interesting. If you tend to gravitate to cardio machines, change things up with interval training, which is a great way to burn calories and get in shape. This is easily done by mixing weights with bursts of cardio.

Make your exercise habit stick. Making fitness stick is all about momentum and motivation, so if you’re a beginner, start with three days a week and add a walk, run or bike ride outside​ four days.

Never skip a day. It’s a mindset, and yes, walking counts. Commit to an hour a day and you’ll never go back.

Do more if you can, but always do something, and start where you can rather than where you want to be. Ease your body and mind into your new exercise schedule to minimize the risk of injury and add on as you get settled in.
