Fall into Fun: 3 Easy Exercises For Autumn 1. Pumpkin Performance Grab that pumpkin off your porch and use it like a medicine ball! You can hold it while you do squats, lunges, or sit-ups to add a little extra resistance. Use it before turning into a jack-o-lantern for maximum benefits! 2. Whisk it Up If you like to bake during the fall season, we’ve got a great arm workout for you! Use a good old-fashioned hand whisk to mix up your favorites instead of using an electric mixer. Try kneading bread dough or mixing pie crust by hand. Whatever you make, you’ll end up with sore arms and a delicious treat at the end – it’s a win-win! 3. Turkey Trot Lots of towns across the country hold an annual Turkey Trot 5K the day after Thanksgiving, but if you’re not quite up for a 5K, a brisk walk around your block will do! After dinner, invite your loved ones to go for a walk with you to help “burn off the bird.” It’s a great opportunity for more conversation and joyful movement with the people you’re most grateful for this season. 20 Nutrition Quarterly · 2021 – Volume 4 Seasonal Fitness Tips
