3 Tips for Better Workouts Sessions During the Holidays
With fall in full swing, it seems like life is changing for the better, even with COVID-19 still holding back the opportunity to live normally again. This is especially true when it comes to exercise.
With temperatures being friendlier for morning and midday runs and gyms re-opening, there’s something about the season of cold, crisp, and fresh air that makes getting in shape so much easier. Although fall itself may be associated with a much more reflective time of year, any optimistic fitness buff will see that it’s also the perfect time to get fitness back in full swing.
A few tips for better fall season workouts
As you pack your items, go over your program, and think about your nutrition for the upcoming months, however, you may be lost over how you can stay in the best shape during fall. Thankfully, we’ve got a few essential pointers that you can use to make the most out of your upcoming fitness routine:
Tip #1: Start exercising outdoors
For many people, working out is something associated with tight indoor spaces, clanking, and loud music. However, with the weather being perfect, missing out on the opportunity to break a sweat outdoors would be unfortunate.
If you want a sudden change in scenery to help you feel invigorated to start pushing for more reps, more sets, and more progress, then you should consider exercising in the outdoors. For instance, swapping your treadmill cardio for some hiking and running or moving your kettlebells outside for more flow work are great ways to switch things up!
Once you start taking your workouts outside, it’s safe to say that your sweat sessions will get a refresh that they need in no time!
Tip #2: Switch up your routine with something exciting to learn
After quite some time, playing around with the same pieces of equipment, taking on the same routines, and doing the same workouts will become monotonous and boring. Fortunately, a guaranteed way to keep your motivation levels at an all-time-high is to switch things up in your workout routine with something new.
If you’ve been lifting weights or doing yoga and nothing else, here are a few other exercises that you can start learning by yourself so that you don’t get bored when working out:
- Animal flow workouts
- Kettlebell training
- Shadowboxing
- Tai chi
- Barre workouts
- Tabata or HIIT-based programs
- CrossFit
Tip #3: Take the time to restructure your program for new goals
During the fall season, you might be worried about being unable to follow through with your fitness goals or get fit enough to survive through the month-long eating sessions.
Nevertheless, you can use this time to re-evaluate what you can do next and how you can double-down on your efforts to get in even more excellent shape by reworking your program. With the help of a professional coach or trainer—such as the dedicated team members at The Fit Factor PT—you can have a customized training plan that will help you take your results and performance to the next level!
Conclusion
Now that fall is in full swing, there’s no better time to double-down on your fitness routine than today, especially when you have the right tips and tricks in mind. By considering the necessary details mentioned above, you can ensure that your training remains as exciting and engaging as possible to stay motivated even during the holidays!

Chad has been my personal trainer for over 10 years. He is very dedicated and resourceful as a trainer. I would highly recommend Chad. He has kept my body healthy through all these years and in my 50s. Chad is also very accommodating to working with your schedule. Wouldn't go anywhere else.
I love working out with Chad! I have been working out with him for the past year and a half and have had the best results compared with other trainers. Chad’s dedication to his clients, humor, warmth and expertise are a winning combination. I look forward to our sessions and always leave feeling stronger, more flexible and energetic. I highly recommend Chad.
I have been working with Chad (the trainer) for almost three years now and have gone through an amazing transformation! He bonds greatly with his clients and is a very qualified trainer. He tailors workouts to individual clients and has helped me perform better as an equestrian and achieve my physique goals. If you are looking for a great one-on-one trainer, I would highly recommend.
When I started going to the fit factor I went in thinking I had a pretty good knowledge of weight lifting and exercise without having much to improve. I was so wrong! Chad was incredible and really took the time to explain and show proper technique as well as a variety of different exercises that I had never done before. I now have much more confidence in my form and have a really great and well rounded routine. Additionally, Chad catered to my personal goals and really listened to what I wanted to accomplish. I cannot recommend The fit factor and Chad enough!
I have been weight lifting for over five years but have never had dedicated instruction from a trainer. Chad was able to notice where my form was failing and correct it immediately. He also guided me towards effective exercises so that I could keep achieving my goals and moving up. After a couple of months of working with him I was able to see some great results. Chad knows his stuff!
Chad has been great with not only the types of specialized workouts each session but also with checking in after the sessions. He has a real passion for seeing people make big health changes; which makes it fun. Would highly recommend!
I went to Chad looking to get back in shape and lose weight, which had crept up from working long hours. Chad was super patient and non-judgmental. We started at a level where I would see results but not get so sore or so disappointed at what I could not do it. He focused on what I could do if I pushed myself hard and taught me that step/skill building was an integral part of the process. We also talked about nutrition and self-care. As other reviews have mentioned, he cares about his clients beyond the appointment time, and wants them to make positive change to their lives that will stick. I lost 30+ pounds and I am in the best shape of my life. I have been able to maintain this for 2 years. He taught me how to create a sustainable workout plan. Even during the pandemic I was able to maintain my weight and my fitness level thanks for his frequent check-ins and the solid fitness base we created through his work and fitness mentorship. I highly recommend him!
I started with Chad in August 2020, my first semester of college was cancelled and i needed something active to do. At that point I was a small underweight kid looking to gain muscle and gain weight. I went to Chad 3 times a week until late January 2021. Those 5 months were great, I really enjoyed going to chad and it was the highlight of my week and something I would look forward to going to 3 times every week. Throughout this time Chad has perfected my form on workouts and had a great and unique workout for me everytime. I went in weighing 125 pounds at 5’10 and now I weigh 150 pounds after the five months. Not only did Chad give workouts but he also gave me a diet for me to follow so I could maximize my time with him. He really personalizes workouts for each person. Currently i’m in the best shape of my life and am super confident in my body. GO TO FIT-FACTOR!!
