You can make the decision to start getting fit and active at any point in the year. Now summer is coming to a close we see less daylight during the day to participate in evening activities. Autumn and winter are great seasons to begin your fitness regime as you can fill the darker hours of the evening with hard hours at the gym, not to mention work towards your summer body for the next year ahead.
Motivation is key when starting a new fitness regime and it can be hard to find the right motivation to stick to it. Tracking your fitness with a watch can help keep you motivated for two reasons, firstly it means you can see the results of your hard work which can help you to push further. It can also give your workout more of a structure as now watches have the capability to track individual sports.
So if you are looking to get fit this autumn for the summer ahead next year then here are some of our recommendations on watches for the gym.
