Summer is here and that means little shorts, swim suits, and strappy sun dresses, right? If you’ve stopped breathing by this point, try to regain your composure and listen. No hiding inside this summer! It’s about time that you felt like a million bucks walking down the street in your itty bitty bikini.
- Make sure to drink lots of water. Not only will it curb your appetite, but it will help flush out the toxins in your body that may be causing you to hold on to unwanted weight.
- Snack on healthy foods, especially fruits like watermelon, cantaloupe and honeydew melon, all of which contain large amounts of water that will help quench your snack attack, keep you hydrated, and lose weight.
- Exercise. Taking a run in the park might not sound like a dream come true when it’s 100 degrees outside, but run early in the morning or late at night, purchase a gym membership, swim outside, join a pick-up football game at the neighborhood park… do something you enjoy, but stay active
- If you need a jumpstart in keeping your energy level at an all time high, try a weight loss supplement like Zantrex 3. It will give you that extra energy you need to be active and get through your day.
- Plan out your meals and cook healthy! Here’s a recipe that I found that is low cal, low carb, and is absolutely delicious: Black Bean and Tomato Salad
- 2(15 ounce) cans black beans, rinsed and drained
- 2 (15 ounce) cans white beans, rinsed and drained
- 1/2 bag of frozen corn
- 2 diced tomatoes
- 1 diced avocado
- 1/4 of a red onion minced
- A small handful of minced cilantro
- Toss salad with 1/4 to 1/2 cup (depending on taste) of fat free Italian dressing
- Salt and Pepper to taste
is all it takes to find something to do each weekend. There are always some kind of fitness events going on–especially during the summer. If you like running marathons, just Google a quick local search to find one. If you live in Utah, this might be a great event for you:
D. Gary Young’s lavender farm in Mona is hosting a 5k marathon called “Run through the Lavender”. Not only will you be improving your fitness, but it is going to a great cause. Partial proceeds will be donated.
Have fun getting in even better shape this summer!
Our bodies need specific nutrients, vitamins, and supplements in order for us to have optimum performance in whatever we do: exercising, work, and just life in general. But many people don’t get the much needed nutrients and they become deficient. Throughout vitamin deficiency, many experience hair loss, weight loss or weight gain, and depression (just to name a few).
But sometimes it can be difficult to know exactly what vitamins to take. Well, there is a company that can help you with that.
