Summer Is The Best Time To Make A Positive Change To Your Health And Wellbeing

If you want to make a positive change to your health and wellbeing, summer is the best time to start. Here is why!

• According to studies, it's easier to get fit in the summer as you spend more time outdoors due to the warmer weather and increased daylight hours.

• According to studies (University of Massachusetts and the University of Georgia), your average caloric intake decreases about 200 calories per day in the summer months compared to fall and winter.

• Higher temperatures slows down your digestion as you feel fuller for longer.

Here are a few suggestions which will help you accelerate the best possible result in your quest to make a positive change to your health and wellbeing during summer.

STEP 1

Nutrition is at least half the battle.Follow a low- or no-carb diet.

Aim for macros around 75% fat, 20% protein, and 5% carbohydrates, keeping carbs well below 20 grams per day.

STEP 2

Make 15 minutes of ab exercises your daily go-to routine.

Abs recover faster than other muscle groups, making daily training both safe and effective.

STEP 3

Stay hydrated.

Drink plenty of water — proper hydration supports muscle function and recovery.

STEP 4

Don’t drink your calories.

Avoid sugary beverages, fizzy drinks, and alcohol.

STEP 5

Your muscles need rest to recover.

Aim for at least 7.5 hours of sleep each night, and take a midday power nap if possible.

STEP 6

Add 30 minutes of cardio, four to five days a week.

Cycling and swimming are excellent low-impact, joint-friendly options.

STEP 7

Alongside daily ab work, include strength training five times a week, with each session focused on a different muscle group.

STEP 8

Stay motivated, track your progress, and hold yourself accountable.

If you slip, get back on track the next day.
