Fall Can Be A Time For New Experiences
By Tom Herrin
When the time finally arrives that those fall temperatures begin to be evident, most people are ready. They may have grown tired of the heat and having to stay inside at times in the summer. Once the opportunity is there to get outside and enjoy some freedom, people usually want to take advantage of it. Not only is the air more pleasant than it has been for several months, but it becomes much easier to be active because there is not so much concern about recovering from an activity every time they do anything.
Get Up A Game
Playing games such as pickup basketball or touch football can be fun and offer an opportunity for a little conditioning. As a college student, I began to play a modified game of touch football with some friends almost every afternoon. Before long, I found myself in really good shape even though we were playing a pretty laid back game with little running. Once I saw this progress, I made some changes to my diet and was able to lose 35 pounds in only a few months. It was a great way to improve my health without a lot of heavy exercising.
Bike Riding Can Be Enjoyable
If people haven’t ridden a bicycle in a while, trying it out could be a good outlet. It can give them an opportunity to be outdoors and have a little freedom. Whether people get very involved or not, some casual riding can mean some exercise that is low impact and can be monitored so that they are not so likely to overdo it. There is a fair chance that most people have some kind of access to a bike so they can give it a try.
Hit The Farmers Market
If you are looking for something different, a trip to a farmers market can be an eye-opening experience. Browsing through all of the different kinds of local produce may be educational as well as initiate creativity. You can add a little color to your menu and some real variety as you try different recipes. There may be some flavors you have never before tasted, giving you an opportunity to broaden your ideas of foods that you might include in your meals. New experiences can be a great way to increase your enjoyment of what there is to offer.
