Embracing the Seasons of Fitness: A Year-Round Journey
Just like the seasons of the year, our routines and nutrition change with the seasons. In the summer, we typically find ourselves with higher energy while in winter our energy is lower. Spring brings more fresh fruits and vegetables while fall offers more root vegetables and grains. It’s okay to change our fitness and nutrition based on the season the earth is in (and the season we are in). Here is a quick guide for what to focus on for each season for nutrition and fitness!
Spring Into Action: Revitalize Your Fitness Routine
As nature awakens, so can your fitness routine. Spring is the perfect time to shed the winter lethargy and embrace a renewed sense of energy. With the weather getting a little warmer, we have so many options! Here's how you can bloom into a healthier you:
Outdoor Workouts:
Take advantage of the warmer weather and spring blooms! Take your movement outside. Go for a walk or jog in the park, get your bike out of the garage, or practice yoga in the sun. Let nature be your fitness companion.
Fresh and Seasonal Nutrition:
Spring means fresher, whole foods being available. Revamp your nutrition and wake it up by incorporating seasonal fruits and vegetables. Think vibrant salads, smoothies, and light meals to align with the energy of the season.
Spring Cleaning for Your Routine:
Just as you declutter your living space, declutter your fitness routine. Evaluate what's working and what's not and make room for new exercises or activities that excite you.

Summer Vibes: Stay Fit and Hydrated
The sun is shining, and the days are longer – it's summer! Your fitness and nutrition can align with the vibrancy of the season. Here's how to make the most of the summer energy:
Water-Based Workouts:
Dive into water-based activities. Swimming, kayaking, or even water aerobics provide a refreshing way to stay fit while keeping cool in the summer heat.
Hydration-Focused Nutrition:
With the rising temperatures, hydration becomes crucial. Infuse your diet with hydrating foods like watermelon, cucumber, and berries. Don't forget to drink plenty of water to support your active summer days.
Mindful Eating in the Sunshine:
Take advantage of the longer days by practicing mindful eating outdoors. Enjoy picnics with friends, savoring each bite as you soak up the sun.

Fall Fitness: Harvesting Health and Wellness
As the leaves change color, so can your approach to fitness and nutrition. Fall is a time for grounding and reflection. Here's how to embrace the autumnal spirit:
Seasonal Outdoor Activities:
Engage in fall-inspired activities like hiking, apple picking, or joining a local fall sports league. Enjoy the crisp air while staying active.
Comforting and Nutrient-Rich Foods:
Transition to heartier, nutrient-rich meals. Embrace the fall harvest with soups, stews, and roasted vegetables. Explore the variety of autumnal produce available like different variations of squash and root vegetables.
Mindful Movement Indoors:
As the weather cools, consider bringing your workouts indoors. Try new classes or home workouts that align with your fitness goals. Give kickboxing, Pilates, or yoga a try during this season.

Winter Wellness: Nourish Your Body and Soul
Winter invites us to slow down, reflect, and nourish ourselves from the inside out. Remember, rest is productive too! Winter is the season to focus on inner growth and less heavy movements. Here's how you can adapt your fitness and nutrition for a holistic winter wellness experience:
Winter Sports and Activities:
Embrace the winter wonderland with activities like skiing, snowboarding, or even a winter hike. Stay active while enjoying the unique offerings of the season. Or if you’re not an outdoors winter person, try yoga, somatic movement, stretching, or a group exercise class.
Warm and Nourishing Nutrition:
Focus on warm, nourishing meals. Incorporate hearty soups, herbal teas, and foods rich in essential nutrients to support your well-being during the colder months. Winter calls for roasted root vegetables and squash. Try your hand at hearty casseroles or crockpot meals!
Mind-Body Practices:
Explore mind-body practices like yoga and meditation to foster a sense of inner warmth and balance during the winter season. Maybe even try journaling about the experience you have when you do these practices so you can see your progress!
