(NAPSI)—When the days get shorter and cooler, many people move their workouts indoors—but that doesn’t have to mean sacrificing your motivation or fun. According to BowFlex Fitness Advisor and Certified Personal Trainer Amy Kiser Schemper, M.S., fall is one of the best times to reset your exercise routine and make it fun again.
“A lot of people see fall as a slowdown season,” says Schemper. “But I think of it as a fresh start. You don’t have to do more, you just have to make it feel new and enjoyable.”
Make This Season Your Reset
Whether you’re drawn to TikTok’s viral 12-3-30 treadmill workout or curious about hybrid routines that blend strength and cardio, Schemper says there are plenty of ways to shake things up without leaving your living room.
For those interested in exploring walking workouts or interval sessions at home, BowFlex treadmills, including the new T6, T9, and T16, offer seamless smartwatch connectivity, ultra-responsive speed and incline controls powered by the MaxReact drive system, wide cushioned decks, and access to your favorite fitness apps, which make it easy to customize your experience.
For smaller spaces, these treadmills are a great addition to any room with their folding frames, which seamlessly stow away to ensure your living space stays livable while still delivering maximum results.
The T16 features a 16-inch HD touchscreen with Netflix, Prime Video, and Spotify, making workouts feel less like a chore and more like a binge session.
Strength Training That Fits Your Space (and Your Life)
While fall is a great time to walk or run indoors, Schemper stresses that cardio isn’t the whole story.
“Strength training is a great way to keep your energy high, boost your metabolism, and stay strong through the winter months,” she says. “And you don’t need a super complicated setup to make real progress.”
The BowFlex Results Series 552 SelectTech Dumbbells are a prime example of keeping strength workouts simple and effective. Engineered with durable metal components for lasting performance, these adjustable dumbbells replace 15 traditional weights, ranging from 5 to 52.5 pounds. When you’re ready to take your training up a notch, the Results Series 1090 SelectTech Dumbbells adjust from 10 to 90 pounds per dumbbell, replacing 17 sets of weights in a compact design.
With a twist of a dial, staying strong becomes effortless—no clutter, no excuses, just results. If you’re looking to level up at any fitness level, from beginner to pro, these adjustable dumbbells let you lift, grow, and conquer your fitness goals, all without taking over your space.
Building a Routine You’ll Stick With
So how do you keep home workouts from feeling stale? According to Schemper, it’s all about mixing structure with fun.
“People often think fitness has to be all-or-nothing, but that’s not true,” Schemper notes. “Even a short treadmill session or a quick dumbbell circuit can build momentum and keep you active throughout the colder months. The right tools make it simple to stay consistent and actually enjoy the process.”
Indoor workouts don’t have to be just sweat and effort; they can also be a full sensory experience. Pair your smartwatch to your BowFlex treadmill to keep your metrics in sync, or enhance your dumbbell routines with fitness platforms such as JRNY, Peloton, and Zwift to boost your motivation, track progress, and celebrate milestones. Even a quick 10-minute incline walk can feel like a victory when your stats show improvement week after week.
Swap a steady walk for intervals, try a new strength circuit, or test your endurance by gradually increasing speed or incline during your next treadmill session. Each mini win contributes to your fitness goals and makes consistency feel effortless. Beyond the physical benefits, these little upgrades help workouts become part of your lifestyle instead of a chore.
