The air seems cleaner and crisper this time of year. It truly feels like you are breathing in a new season of change. Fall weather feels like a little gift we are given every day. I feel guilty if I stay inside and miss out on days like these.

This week I encourage you to get outside, breathe in the fresh air and take advantage of this wonderful season. Take your workout outside this week. 

Take your morning coffee or evening dinner to the outdoors. It’s incredible what even five minutes outside soaking up this season will do for your mental health.

“I notice that Autumn is more the season of the soul than of nature.” – Friedrich Nietzsche

Here is an outdoor workout to get yourself moving in the fresh air:

Warm up: Walk 5 minutes

25 Jumping Jacks

Go through each set 1x, then repeat 2-3 more times, depending on your fitness level and time!

Set 1:

15 Burpees

20 Walking Lunges

25 Squat jumps

30 Plank with shoulder taps

Run/Sprint a short straight away

Set 2:

15 pushups

20 split squats each side

25 Wide leg squats

20 side plank with dips each side

Run/Sprint a short straight away

Set 3:

40 Mountain climbers

20 Reverse lunges each side

25 Air Squats

10 inchworm walk outs

Run/Sprint a short straight away

After your workout take 5 minutes to sit in stillness with your morning coffee, or glass of water, whatever you enjoy. Close your eyes and take in deep breaths, clear your mind, and just enjoy the sunshine, the breeze, and the stillness.

Set an intention for your day or think about the things you are grateful for. Don’t go over your to do list or schedule, just sit in stillness and take five minutes outside to just simply be. We were gifted this beautiful season, go take advantage of it this week!
