Seasonal Fitness Tip!🍂

🍂 When working out outdoors in cooler weather, layering up is key!

Start with a moisture-wicking base layer to keep sweat off your skin, add an insulating layer to trap body heat, and finish with a breathable outer layer to protect from wind and rain.

As you warm up, you can adjust layers to stay comfortable and prevent overheating. Zippers are your friend!

Stay warm, stay safe, and make the most of your workout no matter the weather! 💪✨

Exercise of the Month!

Sleep Tip of the Month!

Consistent exercise can help you fall asleep faster, stay asleep longer, and improve overall sleep quality. That’s because physical activity reduces stress and helps regulate your body’s internal clock, making it easier to feel naturally tired at night.

But here’s the catch: working out too close to bedtime can actually make it harder to wind down. Exercise raises your heart rate and body temperature, which might keep you feeling too energized for sleep.

Try to finish your workout at least 2-3 hours before bed for the best rest! 😴
