This month is a time for change in more ways than one. As we adjust to the passing of her Majesty the Queen, and with the blistering summer soon to be a memory, we look ahead to the leafy autumn, with an eye on the crisp dark nights of winter and the reign of a new Monarch. As regular as clockwork this seasonal shift brings its own changes to daily activity, something that we really notice here at Physical Balance.
As September passes into October our gardens present the first challenge. A summer of growth needs tidying away and our lawns put to bed.
The manual work this involves is often a greater load to that of summer and needs to be prepared for.
With this example in mind we would encourage you to think how your winter activities and lifestyle differ to that of the summer months.
Think about how these activities may impact on flexibility, stamina, strength and stability.
Also, if you are planning a ski trip, start thinking about how you might slowly start to increase your stamina. Our advice is to do an activity that makes you out of breath for 20 minutes, 3 time per week.
Alternatively, if you feel that the winter months will mean you are generally less active we would suggest looking at maintaining and even increasing your flexibility and stability. Yoga and Pilates are a great way to achieve these goals.
If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact us.

If you are preparing for a ski trip, gradually building your endurance can help you feel more prepared, while yoga or Pilates may be useful during quieter months to maintain flexibility and stability. For a completely different form of activity, Melon Sandbox is a physics-based sandbox game where players can experiment with objects, characters, and interactive setups.

This was a thoughtful and timely article that highlights the importance of preparing both physically and mentally for seasonal changes. I like how it emphasizes that transitions between seasons can affect energy levels, routines, physical activity, and overall wellbeing, making it important to adjust habits gradually rather than waiting until challenges arise. The discussion around maintaining movement, supporting physical health, and staying aware of how environmental changes influence the body is particularly valuable because it encourages a proactive approach to wellbeing. It also reminds readers that small, consistent adjustments can make a significant difference in adapting comfortably to new seasonal conditions.
