It’s begining to feel more and more like Fall around here and I’m here for it! This is my favorite season and I always look forward to making the most of it. I’m locking in some priorities for these final 4 months of the year, and as part of my efforts, I’m setting some fitness goals to finish 2025 strong. So for this week’s Fit Five Friday I thought I’d share my five fitness goals for Fall.
Five Fitness Goals for Fall
Daily Stretching & Mobility Work — I mentioned in my recent runfessions that stretching took a hit in August, so it’s time to get back to it. I certainly feel better when this is part of my daily routine.
Return to the Bike — It’s been more than a minute since I’ve been on my Peloton bike. I’m thinking of clearing the history so I can set some new PRs with my “bionic” hip 😉
Lift Heavy — We recently added a Smith Machine and leg press to our home gym. Looking forward to putting both to good use!
Consistent 64 oz. — I’m terrible about my hydration, even in the heat of the summer, so I know I need to make a concious effort as the weather cools. I’m committing to daily tracking to help keep this goal top of mind.
Return to Running — I’m planning to hit my favorite running store soon for a fitting and then there will be trips to the track for some initial run/walk sessions so I can guarantee a smooth, even surface for those first few outings. If all goes well then I may give Couch to 5K a go.
Do you have any fitness goals for the season?

Great goals and exciting to see your return to running. Perfect time of year to be out there! I have to get back to my mobility work!
waterrrrrrrrr! my hydration is absolutely pathetic and I don’t know why!!! thanks for reminding me of that!!
Oh, a Smith machine sounds like an incredible addition! These are great goals! You’ve got this!
This is an inspiring, realistic plan for finishing the year strong. I love the mix of mobility, returning to bike and running, and the commitment to lift heavy and hydrate consistently. The practical steps like clearing Peloton history and a shoe fitting make goals feel actionable. I’m bookmarking this as a seasonal reset and sharing it with my running group.
