Get Your Body and Mind Ready For Summer
Now is the time to prepare for the warmer months ahead by adopting a healthier attitude to mind and body.
‘Summer bodies’ are made in the spring. The sooner you start thinking about getting yourself to the fitness level that makes you feel your best in the summer, the easier it is to get there without resorting to crash diets or juice cleanses. Not feeling quite ready yet? Here are a few simple ways you can start preparing for the summer season now.
1. Cut added sugar from your diet. Just say “no” for now.
2. Increase your water intake.
Women should aim to drink at least 2.7 litres per day and men 3.7L.
3. Eat lots of vegetables, protein and healthy fats
4. Embrace plant-based eating
You don’t need to become a strict vegan to reap the benefits of a plant-based diet. But you do need to harness the benefits of plants to get your necessary doses of vital nutrients such as fibre, protein, vitamins, minerals, and inflammation-blasting antioxidants. Designate one day a week as ‘meat-free’ and pile your plate with fruits, veggies, whole grains, and plant-based proteins such as beans or legumes. Summer is the perfect time to serve up a giant salad for dinner or experiment with cold, vegetable soups like gazpacho.
5. Keep up your exercise routine
When it comes to preparing your body for summer, there are two options. One is to simply maintain your year-round exercise routine. The other is to use a routine as your basis and add something new for a bit of added variety.
6. Try something new
Good weather makes us feel more inspired, creative and daring. It’s a good idea to track your progress when starting a new activity or challenge, so you are encouraged to reach your goals. Whether you want to get a new personal best in running or surprise yourself by overcoming fears and trying new activities (like an antigravity, inversion-therapy Yoga swing!), tracking your progress is a great way to stay focused and motivated.

6. Put your mind to rest.
Take meditation and yoga classes to find peace and preserve your sanity. These forms of exercise can help bring peace to your mind and soul. You can practice meditative exercises every day, to help clear your mind and relieve stress. Meditative exercises with stretching also allow you to breathe deeper, which helps tone your body.
7. Remind yourself that tomorrow isn’t guaranteed
The bottom line is that none of us have much time. It’s a cliché, but tomorrow isn’t guaranteed.
Make time for the things you’ve always dreamed of. Live a little more in the moment and don’t get so caught up in making money for your future or you’ll miss out on what’s happening now. We all need to find the right balance but, if you don’t take the time to analyse where you’re at, you might find yourself a long way` off.
