Get Started Today! #LakeridgeAthletic #WinterFitness #StayActive #FitForLife #HealthJourney #ElSobranteFitness #BayAreaGym As the weather cools and the days get shorter, it can be challenging to stay on top of your fitness routine. With the holiday season approaching, finding ways to maintain or even improve your fitness is more important than ever. At Lakeridge Athletic Club, we’ve got you covered with plenty of ways to stay active, motivated, and healthy throughout the fall.
Here are 5 ways to Improve Fitness in the Fall. 1. Take Advantage of the Extra Hour After the Clocks Fall Back When the clocks "fall back" and we gain an extra hour, it’s the perfect opportunity to reset your fitness routine. Use this bonus time to fit in an early morning workout, making the most of the daylight and setting a positive tone for the rest of your day. Not only will you feel more energized, but you’ll also boost your metabolism. Tip: Book a session with Vanessa or Anthony. Early risers have the perfect opportunity to jumpstart their day especially with the help of one of our personal trainers! 2. Keep Moving Indoors as Days Get Shorter With the fall season comes shorter days, making it harder to get outside for workouts. However, staying active indoors is easy and fun at Lakeridge Athletic Club! We offer a wide range of cardio equipment to keep you moving, including a large selection of treadmills located both upstairs and downstairs in the workout areas. You’ll also find spin bikes in our upstairs fitness room, available for open use during non-class hours—perfect for those who love a cycling workout and may not be able to attend one of Pilar’s classes. Tip: Make the most of our indoor facilities by setting weekly goals and creating a consistent routine. Whether you prefer cardio, strength training, or a good spin session, we have everything you need to stay active no matter the weather. 3. Balance Holiday Indulgence with Smart Eating The fall season brings festive gatherings, and it’s easy to indulge in delicious holiday meals. While it’s important to enjoy these moments, staying mindful of your eating habits can help you avoid packing on extra pounds. Focus on portion control, making healthier choices, and balancing indulgent meals with regular workouts. Tip: Plan a quick workout at Lakeridge before big holiday meals. It’s a great way to burn calories and feel energized throughout the festivities. Plus, working out before indulging can help you make more mindful food choices. 4. Stay Hydrated and Manage Stress Hydration is key, even when the weather cools down. It’s easy to forget to drink enough water during fall and winter, but staying hydrated keeps your energy up and helps prevent overeating. At Lakeridge Athletic Club, we make it easy to stay hydrated with our free water fill-up station located in the spa area. Just bring your water bottle and fill up as often as you need! We also offer a wide assortment of refreshing drinks available for purchase at the front desk, from healthy hydration options to protein shakes. In addition to staying hydrated, managing holiday stress is important for maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Exercise is a fantastic stress reliever, and we offer yoga and meditation classes to help you unwind, stay centered, and keep emotional eating in check. Tip: Be sure to bring your water bottle to every workout, and take advantage of our free fill-up station and drink options at the front desk. Staying hydrated will help keep you energized and focused! 5. Join a Fitness Community for Support and Accountability One of the best ways to stay motivated is by joining a supportive fitness community. At Lakeridge Athletic Club, we offer a wide variety of group fitness classes designed for all fitness levels, where you can connect with like-minded people. Whether you’re into strength training, cardio, or flexibility, you’ll find classes that challenge and inspire you. Plus, group workouts make it easier to stay accountable, as you'll have a whole class cheering you on! Looking for something fun and social? Don’t miss our morning Pickleball pick-up games and weekly morning racquetball sessions. These activities are a great way to stay fit while meeting new people.
