Fitness - Getting Ready for the Summer Season


As temperatures rise, we not only shed our outer layers and don breezy clothing, we want to feel lighter. Now is the time to raise your energy levels and to get in tip-top shape, so you can feel confident in your own skin when the weather is at its best. Amp up your fitness levels and prepare for the ultimate summer with these tips, so you can enjoy an anxiety-free day on the beach catching sunshine and chasing waves. Follow this advice and the only thing left to do will be to travel to the seaside and slather on the sunscreen.

          

 Set Measurable Fitness Goals

If you are attempting to lose weight before summer rolls around, make sure that you set goals that you can measure. Instead of simply wanting losing weight, specify the amount of kilos that you would like to vanquish or how many inches you would like to remove from your waistline. When you set measurable targets, you can more easily see your progress and how close you are to attaining your goals. Another satisfying way to see progress on your weight management journey is to take a “before” and “after” photo before you begin your fitness regime.

 

Eat Well

Have you ever heard the phrase, “You are what you eat?” This saying cannot be translated literally; it simply means that the food and nutrients that you put into your body will shape your body. Good nutrition is essential to health and to shaping your physique. In order to facilitate fat loss, reduce the amount of calories you consume and drink lots of water. Keeping a food diary will curb your urge to cheat on your diet with junk food, and you will feel better when you replace your unhealthy snacks with fruits and vegetables.

Try a Variety of Fitness Exercises

It’s great to get into the routine of regularly exercising, but make sure that you try different types of exercise for well-rounded health. Cardio burns calories and gets your heart pumping, a strong core will aid with strength training and lifting weights will promote muscle mass to help you get the physique you desire. In addition to the range of health benefits, a variety of exercise can make working out more interesting. You can attend different classes, spend time doing outdoor activities or get a bunch of friends together to play sports. If you are happy while you exercise, you are more likely to continue conditioning your body and reaping the benefits.

Join a Fitness Retreat

Whether you need a little bit of extra motivation and personal attention or whether you require someone to whip you into shape during a group retreat, like a boot camp programme, you will have gained great results when you enrol in a fitness retreat. When you dedicate time to your health and re-training good habits, the lifestyle changes will be the most effective.  

You may learn specifically about how your body functions with comprehensive diagnostic testing and receive a tailormade meal plan to suit your physiology. You could find confidence and resilience as you learn about yoga and meditation – or you might finally solidify those abdominals muscles and clench that six-pack when you enrol in a Pilates reformer programme. No matter what you choose, you will have the chance to gain the results that you want and the skills to maintain them once you return home.
