September and the start of the school year have barely arrived, and autumn is already beginning to set in, bringing with it notable changes to our environment and our bodies. The days are getting shorter, the air is getting cooler, and for some, like us at Hercule Studio, a touch of nostalgia is blowing over our minds, already missing the long summer days, the light, the warmth, and the invigorating energy of this season.

So we tried to understand this feeling, and this very real phenomenon has a scientific explanation! The Earth, by rotating around its tilted axis, modifies the amount of sunlight reaching our side of the planet. Less light means a reduction in the production of serotonin, the happy hormone, and an increase in the production of melatonin, the sleep hormone. The result? We feel more tired and more prone to a form of autumnal melancholy.

But how can you have a fulfilling back-to-school season, fight off the autumn blues, and maintain your energy, dynamism, motivation, joy, and enthusiasm? We'll tell you everything.

Autumn is the perfect time to refocus on yourself and establish new routines to boost your well-being. Spending more time indoors doesn't mean neglecting your physical and mental health; it can even become a reassuring and calming ritual.

At Hercule Studio, we believe wellness starts with small gestures, like reviewing your eating and exercise habits to adapt to the changing seasons. Adopting a seasonal diet is one of the most effective ways to support your well-being during this time. Fall produce, such as squash, apples, and nuts, is not only delicious but also rich in essential nutrients that strengthen the immune system. By incorporating these foods into your diet, you benefit from fruits and vegetables that are often fresher and nutritious, contributing to a balanced diet and better overall health. Take the opportunity to experiment with new recipes and foods, and establish a convivial routine, such as a homemade dinner with family or friends once a week.

However, we know how difficult it can be to ensure that we are getting all the essential vitamins and nutrients we need every day. That's why we recommend Dijo 's 100% natural supplements, a company that places health at the heart of its commitment. Sustainably made in France, these products also reflect our vision of French know-how. Our favorite product to prepare for fall and winter: the "30-day Restart" pack for a complete rebalancing.

At the same time, it's crucial to stay active, especially as the days get shorter and the temperatures drop. Exercise plays a fundamental role in managing seasonal changes. Whether it's stretching at home or a walk in the park, physical activity helps combat fall fatigue and improve mood. It stimulates the production of endorphins and serotonin, two natural chemicals that act as antidepressants, which is especially important during the darker, colder months.

Additionally, regular exercise strengthens the immune system, which is crucial during cold weather. It reduces the risk of illnesses such as colds and the flu by improving blood circulation and facilitating the transport of nutrients and defense cells throughout the body. This practice not only helps maintain good physical fitness, but also supports optimal mental well-being.

Choose a little regular exercise rather than none at all. Don't feel guilty. It's normal to be a little less motivated during this time. Getting active can be achieved with just 15- to 30-minute stretching, yoga, or strength-building sessions.

Online platforms and apps can help boost motivation and turn exercising even at home into a real routine. Our personal recommendations, which we consider effective while combining aesthetics, are LeWellness Club , an online platform where you can sign up and enjoy workouts at all levels in yoga, stretching, ballet or shape in motion. For an even more personalized workout, we recommend the SWEAT app, which you can use anywhere, with the possibility of choosing the duration and intensity of your session according to your wishes.

By combining a healthy diet with regular exercise, you create a balance that helps you navigate fall with peace of mind. Every little helps, whether it's adjusting your meals or incorporating exercise into your daily routine. By celebrating the flavors of fall and staying active, you can transform this season into a time of renewal and comfort, laying the foundation for a balanced and revitalizing season.

To support you in this transition, we've selected exercise mats that combine aesthetics and functionality so you can do good with beauty, a passion and core value of Hercule Studio. That's why we've chosen models that, in addition to harmonizing with autumnal hues, will offer you softness and motivation. Their design, inspired by nature and the colors of the season, will add a touch of dynamism to your daily routine.
