Fall is a great time to get outside and enjoy the beautiful weather. But with the changing seasons comes cooler temperatures, which can make it difficult to know what kind of workout to do. Here are a few of the best outdoor fall workouts that will help you stay healthy and active all season long.

Hiking

Hiking is a great way to get some exercise and enjoy the beautiful scenery at the same time. It’s also a low-impact activity, which means it’s easy on your joints. If you’re new to hiking, start with a short hike and gradually increase the distance as you get stronger.

Trail Running

Trail running is a great way to get a cardio workout and enjoy the outdoors. It’s also a great way to improve your balance and coordination. If you’re new to trail running, start with a trail that’s easy to follow and gradually increase the difficulty as you get more comfortable.

Playing Sports

Fall is prime sports season. Whether you’re a fan of football, baseball, hockey, or lacrosse, there’s sure to be a league or team that’s perfect for you. Playing sports is a great way to get exercise, meet new people, and have some fun.
