Summer days are full of excitement. Plenty of parties, wedding celebrations, and lazy days at the beach. It is the season where you uncover your body and want to look your best. How to look healthy and fresh without skipping that night out with friends coming from abroad ? How to manage to exercise when the weather is so hot, and plenty of options are offered to us that sound more fun than the gym?
Well, start today by introducing healthy tips to your lifestyle. A first move would be to empty your house and office from all undesirable temptations. Next time you go grocery shopping, skip the chips, crackers, and chocolate bars, and replace them with fresh baby carrots that do not require any washing or peeling, and they are full of carotenoids which help obtaining a nicer skin color. Also, stick to dark chocolate, sold in a small format, this way you will get your sweet threat without overdoing it, while replenishing your body with antioxidants that prevent early aging, and magnesium which favors muscle and nerve relaxation.
As for exercising, always remember that any physical activity is better than none. If you spend your days sitting behind a computer then go home tired and drained, try taking advantage of all the opportunities you can get to want to exercise. You can pick a gym that is close to your work or home, and that way you will find it hard to skip your training. You can try to enroll a neighbor, a friend or your partner into going with you, that way you will motivate each other. And most importantly pick an activity that you like. If treadmills are not your thing don't force yourself. Go for a walk outdoors when the sun goes down, try cycling next to the sea, enroll in a Pilates, cycling, aqua bike or yoga class... And if you dread the idea of moving, just go to the mall and walk around shops for a couple of hours, that way you would be combining the joy of picking an outfit for your next party and burning some calories.
Achieving a healthy lifestyle requires time. You will get there one step at time.
Enjoy your weekend, and don't forget to hydrate! Remember to have a glass of water in between drinks, and replace half of the sodas and beer you're having by the pool by a big glass of water.
