As summer comes to an end and autumn draws in, the days get shorter and temperatures get cooler our routines can take a noticeable impact. What worked for us in the heat, light late nights and seasonal diets no longer fits quite right now and that can feel scary. But we have to and should embrace it, change can be a good thing and teach you more about yourself and your body. The end of a season and routine gives you the opportunity to reflect and reset, plus tweaking your lifestyle comes with major health benefits.
Seasonal Change
At this time of year many people experience a subtle but impactful shift in both mindset and routine. Everything that comes with autumn can lead to decreased motivation and lower energy levels, affecting your established summer routine. This psychological dip, combined with environmental barriers can disrupt even the most consistent fitness habits. Lifestyle patterns also tend to shift as comfort food becomes more appealing, social calendars fill with cosy gatherings and structured work routines return, leaving less time and mental space for wellness.
Tips To Stay On Track
As the seasons shift, so should your fitness strategy. Autumn is a great time to refresh your routine. Embrace indoor activities like strength training, spin class, or guided sessions through fitness apps at home. Keep your nutrition balanced by leaning into seasonal produce like squash, apples, and leafy greens, and be mindful of comfort eating habits. Most importantly, use health tracking tools like our mybvi app to track your body composition and other metrics. Unlike traditional scales, it can give you a deeper look into how your body is changing to help you stay motivated and informed even when your routine shifts.
Lasting Thoughts
The end of summer isn’t an obstacle, it’s an invitation to evolve your fitness routine and set new goals. Use September to transition and rediscover what you love about your diet and workouts to bring both energy and emotional uplift to your life. Embrace the reset as a foundation to understand your body and what works for you, to create a lasting routine that fits your life. After all changing your routine can enhance your progress, prevent injury and fight boredom. Use the mybvi app to help you track and reach your goals, as a new visual way to see your progress this autumn.
