Well, it finally snowed in Vegas so I’m glad
winter decided to show up. Better late than never I suppose.
Have you fallen short of their fitness goals.I know I have. Summer seems like an age away, but has a habit
of creeping up on all of us. If you harbor thoughts of looking amazing this
summer in your swimsuit, now’s the time to start planning, especially because I
just saw a sign that said the beach club opens on March 2nd. Ignore
the fact that we had to clear the car snow and ice from our windshields this
morning and dust off your sneakers friends. It’s beach body prep time, because
apparently, we have a week according to industry standards. Yikes.
Yes friends, it’s almost time to give up our
oversized sweaters and and sweats because summer brings a whole new set of
clothing to consider. Strappy vests, shorts, bikinis, swimsuits and barefeet in
sandals, the thought are ALMOST enough to consider relocating to Alaska.
However a little planning done now will mean that even the tiniest of changes
to your lifestyle will help you get your body in tip top condition for summer shed
pounds and get your skin glowing.
Plan
You have around 4 months until summer. I
anticipate it to come slightly sooner, us living in a desert and all, but you
should be able to plan what you would like to achieve over a good amount of
time. My main issue is I get into the mindset that I’ll start “next week” as
the weeks will fly by. Aiming to lose 2-3 lbs per week (if youre trying to lose
weight) would be ideal and schedule weekly weigh ins. Build up your exercise
plan slowly to prevent injury and demotivation. Mark on the calendar the date
when you want to have achieved the results and visualize how you wish to look
at that point. Hang a picture of what your aspiring to achieve somewhere you
see everyday. Maybe on your phone screen, or on your bathroom mirror.
Diet
Exercise is a fantastic tool to help you burn
calories and tone up, but it needs to be done in conjunction with a healthy
diet. Different diets suit different people. If you don’t need to lose weight
you may want to eat foods that give you energy and boost your immunity. If weightless
is your aim there are many methods, such as low fat diets, high protein diets
and incorporating lots of foods in your diet that increase your metabolism. You
could consider supplementing your diet with KetoFact which is
a natural supplement that boosts your bodies fat burning ability, you simply
add to your tea or coffee.
Choose a diet that suits your lifestyle and try
not to deprive yourself. A healthy balanced diet is more likely to be
sustainable than a crash, low calorie diet.
Exercise
Dieting will help your BMI, but as you lose weight
you will need to tone up. Me for example, I’m fine with my current weight but I
would so love to be more toned. Incorporating cardio such as running, swimming,
tennis and dance classes will help to boost your metabolism, as well as keep
your heart and lungs healthy. Weight training and exercise, such as Pilates
will help tone and strengthen your body. There are so many forms of exercise to
choose from it may be worth hiring the expertise of a personal trainer,
to discuss your goals and form a plan of action. Plus, it’s nice to have
someone stand over you and be your hype squad.
Getting your diet and exercise right now, will allow you to concentrate on your
tan, hair and nails come Summer.
