These Fall Activities Count as Workouts

A workout isn’t just something you do at the gym on specific days of the week. There are plenty of fun activities that help you burn just as many calories as a serious workout, and during the fall, there are several seasonal activities that we particularly love.

Road Biking

Nothing beats a bike ride through beautiful fall scenery. If you live in a city, try going to a rural area and enjoying the fall colors. A park will also do if you don’t have other options.

The plus one race in Copenhagen was my first. Showed me a whole new world of riding. So…mf…LIT!! 🔥 For me, knowing I have 0 sprint, all I wanted to do was have fun, hurt myself as much as possible and be dumb. My tactics can be summed up in three photos: attack, get a small gap, get caught. Rinse and repeat. Congrats to @peteobree for the win, @ashleigh___jones aka “coach Ash” for 2nd and @sune.nicolajsen on a podium. Congrats @pasnormalstudios team for making it all happen. Cheers @brandonvanhaeren for the ace shots. #pasnormalstudios . . . . . . . . #cycling #cyclinglife #roadcycling #outsideisfree #stravaphoto #insearchofup #fromwhereiride #cyclingitaly #cyclingretreat #cyclingholiday #stravacycling #strava #gcn #landevei #roadbiking #ciclismo #velo #cyclingphotos #cyclingshots #wymtm #beautyofcycling #cyclingalps #roadslikethese #foreverbuttphotos #roadtonowhere #cannondaleroad

Apple Picking

If you can get to an orchard, apple picking is an amazing way to spend a fall day. You can eat fresh apples right off the tree and take some home to make delicious treats like apple pies and cakes!

Raking Leaves

While it may not be the most fun activity on our list, it will surely help you burn some extra calories! Any yard work counts, actually, so if there are no leaves to rake, you can trim the bushes, plant some fall flowers, or do anything else that will make your yard look beautiful.
