6 Fall Workout Ideas to Refresh Your Fitness Routine

Looking for fall workout ideas to stay active as the seasons change? Autumn is the perfect time to refresh your routine. The crisp air, colorful leaves, and cooler temperatures create the ideal backdrop for both outdoor workouts and cozy indoor sessions. Whether you want to take advantage of nature or stream a class at home, these autumn fitness tips will keep your routine fun and motivating all season long.

1. Pumpkin Power Workout

Nothing says fall like pumpkins — and they’re not just for carving! A medium pumpkin can double as a weight for squats, lunges, Russian twists, and overhead presses. It’s a festive way to build strength while celebrating the season.

💡 Try This with Echelon: Combine your pumpkin workout with an Echelon Strength Training class for expert guidance and new challenges.

2. Scenic Cycling Adventures

Cooler weather makes fall one of the best times for cycling workouts. Hop on your Echelon Connect Bike for an indoor ride or explore scenic cycling routes in the app that let you experience breathtaking autumn landscapes.

💡 Try This with Echelon: Choose a Scenic Ride in the app for a virtual outdoor workout that keeps your fitness exciting.

3. Leaf Raking = Cardio Blast

Looking for a fun outdoor workout that doesn’t feel like exercise? Raking leaves is a full-body cardio activity that engages your arms, back, and core. Plus, you’ll torch calories while checking off a fall chore.

💡 Try This with Echelon: Balance yard work with a quick Echelon Core class for a complete fall fitness routine.

4. Fall-Themed HIIT Circuit

Short on time? A fall HIIT workout is the perfect way to burn calories quickly. Try this seasonal circuit:

• 30 seconds of “pumpkin jumps” (jump squats)

• 30 seconds of “scarecrow jacks” (jumping jacks with arms wide)

• 30 seconds of mountain climbers

Repeat 3–4 rounds for a powerful autumn strength and cardio workout.

💡 Try This with Echelon: Browse the Echelon app’s HIIT classes for structured training that pushes you further.

5. Apple Orchard Strolls

If you’re visiting an orchard this fall, turn it into an active day out. Walking is a simple but effective way to boost heart health, and carrying your apple haul adds natural resistance for a bonus strength session.

💡 Try This with Echelon: Enjoy a guided walking workout on the Echelon Stride treadmill when you can’t get outdoors.

6. Bonfire Stretch + Yoga

As the evenings cool down, it’s the perfect time to reset with fall yoga routines. Gentle stretches or restorative yoga poses next to a cozy bonfire (or at home) help reduce stress and improve flexibility.

💡 Try This with Echelon: Relax and recover with an Echelon Yoga or Recovery class, available anytime in the app.
