Happy July from Adam Clark Fitness! Summer is in full swing, and over the next four weeks, we are excited to bring you some helpful summer tips to stay healthy. Welcome to week one!
Kickstart Your Summer Fitness Routine
Summer is a fantastic time to embrace a fitness routine. With longer days and warmer weather, it's the perfect season to get active and enjoy the outdoors. Let's start by laying a solid foundation for your summer fitness journey.
Setting Realistic Goals
First, set achievable fitness goals. Having clear objectives will motivate you to lose weight, gain strength, or improve your overall health. Start small – maybe aim for a 30-minute walk five days a week or a simple strength training routine three times a week. At Adam Clark Fitness, we have a habit tracker that lasts 8 weeks and can really dial in your habits! It’s not easy, but we’ve made it simple to follow.
Creating a Schedule
Consistency is key. Schedule your workouts like any other important appointment. Early mornings or late evenings can be ideal to avoid the heat. If you’re not a morning person, evening workouts can still be effective. Find what works best for you and stick to it.
Finding Fun Activities
Exercise doesn’t have to be a chore. Summer offers a variety of enjoyable activities like swimming, cycling, hiking, or even gardening. Mixing up your routine keeps things interesting and helps work different muscle groups. Maine summers offer so much to do, making it easy to stay active and have fun!
Adapting to the Heat
Remember to adjust your routine to the warmer weather. Wear light, breathable clothing and opt for shaded or cooler areas. Start slow, and listen to your body. If it feels too hot, take it easy.
By setting realistic goals, creating a consistent schedule, finding fun activities, and adapting to the heat, you can kickstart a sustainable and enjoyable summer fitness routine. Stay tuned for next week’s tips on staying hydrated and nourished in the heat!
