Tuesday Tip: Staying Consistent in Summer

Tuesday Tip: Staying Consistent in Summer ☀️

Staying consistent with your health and fitness routine over summer can be tricky. When the temperatures rise routines change, motivation can dip, and suddenly the habits that felt easy in spring start slipping. With a few small tweaks you can keep things going even through the summer heat

#1 Move Early
Hot days drain energy fast. Try getting your steps or workouts in earlier before the day heats up. Getting moving early means you’re less likely to skip it due to tiredness or last-minute plans for drinks in the sunshine.

#2 Adjust Your Meals
When it’s hot, appetite can drop. Take advantage of this and focus on refreshing, high-protein options that keep you satisfied without feeling weighed down e.g. cold salads with grilled meats, picky bits, fruit salads for snacks etc.

#3 Prioritize Sleep
Poor sleep means low energy, low motivation, and more cravings. Hot rooms don’t help so try to keep your sleep environment cool, leaving curtains drawn during the day to avoid the sun heating the room, using fans, opening the windows, investing in cooling bed linen etc

#4 Modify Your Workouts
If your gym or home space gets warm, longer rest periods are key. Overheating can affect performance and health. Take your time between exercises, sip (don’t chug) cold water, go for lower impact options etc.

#5 Stay Hydrated
Dehydration will kill your energy and make it harder to stay on track. Keep a water bottle with you all day. Coconut water, watermelon, cucumber and other hydrating snacks can give you an electrolyte boost too.

Remember, it’s not about being perfect, it’s about being prepared and consistent. Keep your habits realistic, flexible, and summer-proof.

Happy Tuesday! 🤗
