Where to Start on Getting in Shape for Summer

Spring is here – Summer is coming!

What does the thought of warm summer weather bring to mind? Lazy days, family fun and beach vacations may be at the top of your list. For many, the thought of summer brings up the need to get in shape!

Summer is a time to be active and if the winter doldrums have had you cooped inside living a sedentary lifestyle, it may be time to kick things into gear. But where does one start? The experts at www.livestrong.com have been helping beginners and pros alike in getting and staying fit and healthy.

One of the first things to do is take a true assessment of your habits. Old habits die hard and it may take some new goals and scheduling to turn things around. Start small and evaluate the best ways to ensure you are eating a well-balanced diet. You need food for the energy you are going to burn working out but it needs to be the right food. There are many online tools that will give you a quick refresher course on how you can change your diet in a way that suits you and your lifestyle.

Second, team up your new diet plan with a well-rounded exercise plan. Find some activities you love to do and strive for 60-90 minutes of aerobic exercise every single day. You may need to get creative if you lead a busy life but regular exercise is going to help you burn calories, release stress and build up your cardiovascular health just to name a few of the benefits!
