As soon as the warmer weather settles in, we feel the
need to get back in shape. But whilst
the later months of the year motivate us to get fit, the question still
remains, how exactly do you do that?
Well to help you on your
journey to getting in summer shape, here are some tips to help you
on your way.
1.
Yoga
Yoga is a different type of workout – not your
traditional heart rate up, sweaty type of work out. You do not need to be extra
flexible, Yoga can be adapted to your level of fitness, so this is great for
those starting out.
Not only does Yoga help with your physical health but
it also has great benefits for your mind too, I mean who couldn’t do with a bit
of destressing at this time of the year?
You will most definitely benefit from increased
fitness and wellbeing, moving through yoga poses requires strength and
mindfulness. If you’re looking for a type of workout that will allow you to
unwind and provide you a positive health benefit, Yoga is it.
2. Walking
Walking is a great low impact way of improving your
quality of life and getting you in summer shape. Walking in conjunction with
Yoga works to increase your cardiovascular fitness and to treat conditions such
as hypertension, high cholesterol, joint and muscular pain and even diabetes.
3. HIIT
If you want to take things up a notch, then you can
look at HIIT.
If you’ve never heard of HIIT (high-intensity interval
training) it is a type of workout that is well-known for its efficiency, as it
helps you burn a lot of calories in short periods of time.
HIIT works to maintain a high metabolic rate so that
even after the workouts have finished, your body is still burning calories.
Obviously any summer program can’t be complete without
healthy eating habits and a reduction in Alcohol. If you are wanting to get in
shape this summer and you’ve got any questions, refer to your local GP for
specialist advice before setting out.
