New Year's is the traditional time for making fitness and lifestyle goals. But these plans so often crash and burn. Fall is fast becoming a time when people adopt lifestyle changes and fitness goals and see them through.
Although the seasons are changing, the weather in fall is much more suited to beginning running, cycling or walking. The light is still there and the warmth still lingers. It’s much easier to go out for your walk or run than in the colder months. By the time winter rolls around, you have pushed through the difficult early stages of changing your habits. The new activity is part of your every day or weekly routine and you’re already committed. This way you’re much more likely to keep carrying this change through darker and colder winter months.
