Sign Up for a Fall Event
It's easy to get sidetracked during the summer with all the fun outdoor eating and drinking activities going on. Every year, I try to find an interesting or challenging fall event to sign up for and begin training now. You and your friends could start training for a marathon, triathlon or a mud run. The main thing is to find something that will get and keep you physically active and focused during the summer and throughout the year.
There is still time to get into shape for the summer and take control of your life. But it begins right here, right now. Losing weight and getting fit is a simple math problem of calories in versus calories out. You have to burn more calories than you consume. It's that simple.
Next, you'll need to incorporate two to three days a week of strength training and three to five days a week of cardiovascular training into your lifestyle. Combine all this together, and you have one incredible recipe for success.
Get out the summer swimwear. Try it on. Look in the mirror. Decide what plan of action to take. Then, make it happen. You can make this the best summer ever, but it all depends on you. You're worth it. Have a wonderful, healthy and very happy summer.
