  It's a beautiful day for a walk outside!!     The fresh air, sound of crunching leaves, gentle breeze brings leaves floating down.  This is fall, at least here in the northeast it is and it is a great time to take your fitness routine outside.  Yesterday was one of those days for me, after fulfilling a commitment there was still enough time before the sun went down to get in a good sweat, some quiet time and prepare for the new week.  Below is my 'Final  Sunday of Summer' workout.     I began with a gentle paced walk to get the blood flowing to my muscles and let them get nice warm, as I felt warmer I picked up the pace, for you this could be running or a gently jog.  I like to do a mix of a faster walk and jogging, full out running has gotten a little rough for my back and hips.     I planned my route so I would come to areas where there would either be benches or nice flat open space for some exercises no specific distance...

Start the Fall season with a workout refresh...      AAHH Fall!!  Cooler weather, shorter days accompanied with the beautiful colors.  This is a great time of year to take your exercise outdoors, enjoy the scenery, colors and fresh, crisp air.  If you have a friend always asking you to hike or if you were just considering it yourself, fall is the perfect season to start.  The color changing leaves or the fresh fallen leaves can make hiking so calming at the same time energizing.  A few more bonuses to hiking in the fall, less humidity, cooler temperatures, fewer bugs and so peaceful. If you can't tell from all these descriptions I am a person who enjoys hiking and just getting outdoors.  Many of our vacations involve some kind of hiking or biking and enjoying what nature has to offer. If you are lucky you may experience some wildlife, who wouldn't love to come upon a deer, bunny rabbit or turkey nibbling along the trail.  Anyway enough ...
