As the summer progresses and we are headed to fall, it is clearly noticable that it remains darker in the early morning hours. It is easier to wake up to a sunrise, put those sneakers on and get your morning workout in. When it is dark, and especially when it turns cooler, it is much easier to turn over and go back to sleep.
Adjusting your exercise regimen to the seasons is very important because I have many patients, who tell me that when it is cold outside, they do not get out for as much exercise. (word of the day: Paul) Therefore, during the darker/colder months, if that person does not adjust his/her dietary intake, weight loss will slow down.
Take stock of your caloric burn-off modes, and how the seasonal changes may affect this. I would suggest that you either adjust your dietary patterns or consider alternative workouts to make up for the lack of early morning, "it is light outside" exercise.
