Ah, autumn, time to crank up the heating and hunker down until summer comes along again, right? Actually, whilst the days might be getting shorter and the weather decidedly chilly, you can still feel fantastic this autumn with our 5 tips to kick start your season.
Set your goals
There are some that say September, rather than January, is the best time for goal setting. So embrace the new season with an app like Goal Setter, where you can plan for everything from losing weight to reading a book!
Change your outlook
There’s nothing like a jog in autumn with the crunch of fresh fallen leaves under your feet. Getting outdoors for a fast walk or run will have not only physical benefits but emotional and psychological too as you witness for yourself the glorious change of the season.
Get kitted out
The kids are all back at school decked out in their new clobber, so make a new start yourself on the fitness front with some new training gear to motivate you. You don’t have to get a whole new work out wardrobe, but opt for thin layers that will keep out the chill of the autumn air.
Make your own soup
The salad season might be gone but rejoice because the soup season is here and it’s a lot easier to make than you might think! Kale comes into season in September and is packed with nutrients and powerful antioxidants. Just brown oil and garlic, add washed kale and any other green vegetables with vegetable stock then simmer for 15 minutes before blending.
Switch your timetable
If the darker nights mean you’re less inclined to exercise after work, change your routine by adding a midday workout. Our 30 minute blasts are high intensity, one-to-one sessions with a personal trainer and achievable during your lunch-break.
