Contrary to popular belief, there’s actually no better time to start your fitness journey than once the weather begins to cool. Sure, you can enjoy the sunshine and spend time outdoors in the spring and summer, but honestly, aren’t we already sweaty enough from just working out? I mean, seriously, who actually works out to break a sweat? That’s like saying people go to a Beyoncé concert expecting to be entertained. Am I right?
Okay, scratch that last part. We all know Queen Bey is the undisputed entertainer of our time, but even under all the layers of fur she wore on the Cowboy Carter Tour, she didn’t seem to break a sweat—which leads me to suspect she’s sweat-averse, too. Honestly, though, there’s nothing wrong with working up a sweat now and then, especially when it means a jump start on your summer bod while everyone is all wrapped up in layers. It’s almost like the grand reveal on Fixer Upper or Extreme Home Makeover.

You can work out from the comfort of your home or take advantage of the milder climate outdoors, and when it finally warms back up, you can unveil your brewing physique at the beach, Baywatch style. And best of all, since it’s cooler out, you might even work up less of a sweat. Of course, whatever your preferences for working out (or sweating, for that matter) are, it’s important to have all the essentials to make your workout more enjoyable and, dare I say, stylish.
Crane Wrist Weight Set, $14.99 at Aldi
Fortunately, Aldi always seems to have just what we’re looking for, and their latest must-have gym find looks identical to a designer style nearly 4x pricier. The incredibly stylish Crane Wrist Weight Set is the perfect upgrade to your fall fitness routine. The set includes two 1-pound weights that comfortably fit around your wrist and ankles, adding consistent resistance to your workout without sacrificing much in terms of style. Additionally, their sleek appearance resembles the wildly popular Bala Bangles that retail for a whopping $55, but buying these from Aldi will only set you back a meager $14.99.
