5 Ways to be More Active This Fall

Hey y'all!

 Forrest & I hope y'all are having a happy Saturday & enjoying your weekend, your naps, your prosecco, and definitely your brunch!

I picked up this outfit a few weeks ago on a little shopping trip with my Mama & it has been a favorite since then, so comfy but still cute.

 One of the best parts of Fall to me is newfound motivation for working out and with that of course comes new athelisure outfits, just like this one.

So along with sharing my most recent favorite outfit, I also want to share five easy ways to be more active this Fall. . .

1. Take your pup for a walk (or see if your local shelter has a program where you can "borrow" a dog to take it for a walk!)

I love taking walks around the neighborhood, but it's hard to get together with others to walk...but Forrest is always down to go on an adventure, so he's an awesome walking buddy.

If you don't have a dog, lots of shelters need volunteers for people to come take their pups out for daily walks-it's a great way to serve yourself & your community.

2. Go Hiking or Backpacking

Fall is the best time of year for picking a new trail & taking a hike!

The weather is getting cooler & more crisp, plus the leaves are turning all different colors-so take advantage and head to your nearest national or state park, or maybe even your local park.

3. Take a Trip to a Walkable Area

When my husband & I honeymooned in Savannah, we quickly discovered that it was one of the most walkable cities.

Everywhere you go there was a new square to discover and then of course, the riverfront.

Many vacation destinations are walkable, so plan accordingly & take a vacation...it's for your health after all 😉

4. Help a Charity

This time of year is very popular for 5Ks, fun runs, marathons, etc. and what a better way to be more active than to do it not just for yourself, but to help others too.

Watch out for races in your community!

5. Watch Your Favorite TV Shows 

You may be thinking...watching TV has nothing to do with being active, it's called Netflix & Chill for a reason, right?

But instead, you're gonna do Netflix & workout-take your iPhone with you to the gym, prop it up on the treadmill or the elliptical and only let yourself watch that show while you're working out.

Or, if you prefer working out off of equipment or outside, pick out your favorite podcast (mine currently is My Favorite Murder, but I also highly recommend 22 Hours-I just finished it and it was AWESOME) and only listen to it while working out-you'll look forward to working out if you only get to take in your favorite entertainment while you do it!

How fun are these mesh details on these leggings?!

Hope y'all enjoyed this style post-it was honestly so enjoyable to shoot & that may or may not have had something to do with the fact that Forrest was part of it 😉

Let me know below what you're doing to get moving more this Fall!

Until next time. . .
