Is Your Body Weatherized For Summer?
Sunday, March 7th, 2010Summer is just around the corner, why not make this one your best! No more wearing the long baggy shorts and big t-shirts at the pool…BREAK OUT THE BIKINI! With three months left until summer, you still have plenty of time to get in shape.
Here’s what you’ll need for your three-month weatherization kit:
- Resistance training - Exercise with weights at least 3x/week to build muscle and burn fat.
- Cardiovascular exercise - Get that heart rate up for at least 30 minutes a day to help create a calorie deficit and burn stored fat.
- Healthy eating - Eat approx. 5x/day (small meals); a lean protein source with a low-glycemic carb.
- Calendar - Write down every week what you plan to do for activity; then cross it out once you’ve completed it.
- Food log - Enter into your journal every time you eat and drink; what, when, and how much.
