My Top 5 Fall Exercises

This isn't one, I just like the pic.

1.  Push ups

 

Push ups can also be done from your knees to make them a little easier.  Try to challenge yourself and always hold good form. 

2.  Rows

 

Rows, can be done in a variety of ways:  dumbbell, straight bar, band, upright, seated.  Choose what works the best for you, stabilize and flatten your back.

3.  Plank

 

Maybe start by holding for 30 seconds and work your way to a minute.

4.  Squats

 Weights or no weights, great exercise that can be done almost anywhere.

5.  Walking

 

Time, repetitions and sets will vary with your each individuals fitness level, challenge yourself, but always stay inside your limits.   Watch your form and consult an expert if you have questions or experience pain, and always make sure you are healthy enough to exercise.

The fall is a great time to hit the gym, fix injuries, and strengthen your entire body.  Focus on the positive and live life.

Time, look back, reflect, and set your sights on the next big thing in your life. Reload, reset, time to be great.
