I'd also like to suggest that planning ahead is the best choice! In which case, as the kids are getting ready to go back to school, it's a perfect time to start planning your fall fitness routine. You know your schedule best, but unless your workouts are on the calendar, they likely won't get done! That said, take a look at your local rec center options, call a friend to have them commit to a class with you once a week, or check out Inspired Athletic Movement's class calendar online (you still have a couple weeks to get plugged in to our 10 days for $19 deal!) to see where you could start to plug in.
What should you do? In a perfect world, we love the idea of having 2 days of strength training, 2 days of higher intensity cardio, 1-2 days of yoga or restorative movement, and 1 day of long endurance biking or hiking. This keeps your program balanced, your body in harmony, all while helping you remain lean and energized!
