Drink
plenty of water
During the hot summer months, heat and sweat can leave your body dehydrated. A lack of water is harmful to your body and can also make you crave food when you are not actually hungry. It is incredibly important to keep yourself hydrated by drinking at least eight to nine glasses of water a day. Add some low calorific flavoring to water such as a piece of fruit, or opt for healthy alternatives like green tea or coconut water.
Get
Wet
Summer is the perfect time of year to get wet! Boring runs in the cold wintery
weather can be swapped for a summer swim at your local pool or gym. Start by
swimming for 10 minutes and increase the time over the following weeks by doing
front crawl, breaststroke or backstroke to mix up your cardio workout. A 30
minute session of this full body workout will burn almost 400 calories.
Take
up a new hobby
Summer is the perfect time to take up a new activity. Gardening is a great way
to enjoy the outdoors and will actually help you burn some calories! Planting
an herb garden is a fantastic way of getting your hands dirty, having quick
access to some healthy flavors for your summer meals and, if you have kids, get
them involved in playing outside.
