Fall With Grace Challenge

Welcome!

This challenge will offer you innovative tools to support your personalized well-being! Scroll down to receive links to discounted movement practices, sleep-support accessories, gentle supplements and strategies to navigate the cold and grey seasons of the year.

To begin, take a few moments to reflect on Fall seasons past. Which strategies helped you throughout the season? Which fell flat? Take some inventory so you'll be prepared to integrate the tools you'll receive into your toolboxes.

Step 1 - Movement

We start our challenge by taking inventory of our movement practices. Whether you've been walking, running, lifting or taking it easy over the summer, now is the time to reevaluate the time and intensity you are spending on your movement.

With a season that is primed for hibernation as the main endurance event, moving for longer bouts at a moderate pace may pose an obstacle to consistency. Instead, I recommend planning shorter sessions that integrate a higher level of intensity.

Taking long walks? Try upping your step cadence and lessening the time spent on the walk.

Lifting light weights? Consider adding intensity in the form of heavier resistance, bands/tubing or interval training.

Even if you've been taking it easy, you can start today with a shorter walk, 20-30 mins or gentle stretch session.

I've got lots of options to chose from as well as a great personalized tool to use when setting your intentions for your movement practice.

Step 2 - Nourishment

Today's challenge is a reflection on our nourishment as well as how to approach it from a seasonal, satiable, supportive perspective.

Your video lesson for the day details some ways in which you shift up your grocery list to better reflect the needs of the season as well as learn about 2 of my best support supplements for the fall/winter season.

Step 3 - Rest.

Even though the colder weather lulls us into hibernation mode, there's a difference between hunkering down for the season and viewing rest as a qualitative aspect of your health and well-being practices. 

Many of us struggle with lack of sleep due to interruptions or simply pure quality.  The most important thing. you can remember is that you are - even if it's not the best sleep in the world - getting some sleep.  This is good news and gives us a foundation from which we can build upon.

The steps in today's session encourage you to engage into some simple shifts that can not only improve the quality of your sleep, but the quality in how you approach the act of rest in general. 

Be sure to enjoy your bedtime meditation - I dare you to stay awake through the entire track 😉 .

We Made It!

You've learned some things, gained some resources and now you're ready to put these simple practices into play.

Your assignment is to choose one thing to address next week - movement, nourishment, or rest.  Work with a strategy from the challenge and then in the weeks to follow, begin to layer in additional behaviors.  The trick is to approach your shifts one step at a time.  Don't feel the need to change your entire life - it's not about a big endeavor - this one is about getting in your daily reps.
