10 Autumn Exercise Tips

I love the autumn. The cooler temperatures, the colors, the crisp breezes… All entice us outside during this time of the year. With winter around the corner, it’s a good idea to enjoy the outdoors as much as possible now.

With that in mind, here are some ideas for getting you outdoors, and working in a little exercise to boot.

1. Grab your camera and go for a walk. With a little exploration and patience, you can bring back dozens of great photos.
2. Walk the dog! Put on your walking shoes and take the dog for a long walk this time. It’s cool enough to not have to worry about either of you overheating!
3. Get in a few last bike rides before storing them away for the winter.
4. Plant your spring bulbs. Daffodils, tulips, crocus, etc. can go in the ground right now. Get flower beds cleaned up and ready for spring.
5. If you had a garden, trim the plants back or till them under.
6. Mow one last time, rake leaves, trim shrubs. Get the yard ready for the winter. Don’t forget to take time to play in the leaves!
7. Decorate for Halloween! Create a centerpiece for the yard, stretch cobwebs across the porch, or carve some pumpkins. Enjoy the season.
8. Walk around the house and do a quick before-winter inspection. Caulk and paint windows if needed. Put new weather-stripping around the doors.
9. Clean out the garage and stock up on cold-weather supplies. If you have a generator, test it out. Buy de-icer and store it for the winter.
10. Go nut-gathering. Now is the perfect time to gather all types of nuts; just be sure to ask before gathering on someone else’s property. Our black walnut trees have dropped lots in the back yard!
