As summer is around the corner, many of us are ready to enjoy outdoor activities and adopt a healthy lifestyle. Following an exercise program designed especially for the summer months is one of the best ways to make the most of this season. A decent workout routine is what will not only help you stay healthy and in shape but also refresh you while making you feel amazing. Summer is all about being outside, bathing in the sun, and spending time with your loved ones. Limited stress-free zone, as we call it. So, let’s take that summer body workout outside and make it as enjoyable as going to the beach as we embrace the lovely weather this sunny season.

Sunny skies, warm temperatures, flowers blooming, birds chirping—doesn’t that sound lovely? Why not take advantage of this and do your workouts outside so you can enjoy them as much as possible? 

Embrace the outdoors

Summer is a wonderful season to enjoy outdoor activities. Replace your indoor gym sessions with outdoor activities that will get you moving and allow you to soak up some vitamin D. Hiking, cycling, swimming, beach volleyball, or simply brisk walking can make your training routine more enjoyable and energetic.

Hydration

When starting your workout, don’t forget the crucial thing: water. Hydration is essential during summer workouts, especially as the temperatures rise. Carry a water bottle with you at all times, and make it a habit to drink water before, during, and after your workout. To restore electrolytes naturally, incorporate hydrating fruits like watermelon, or coconut water into your post-workout meal. 

Morning or evening exercise 

If you’re debating whether you should do your workout in the morning or evening, consider this: how would you prefer to start your day?  Both evening and morning exercises have advantages, but you should choose the one that best suits you and your daily routine. If you are an early bird who enjoys watching the sunrise and sipping coffee slowly, then morning exercise will be just what you need to get your day started. You will feel energetic and refreshed afterwards, ready to face any challenges that come your way during the day. 

On the other hand, you could be ready to conquer your day early on and then hit the gym to get all that energy out before falling asleep like a baby. Doesn’t it sound like a dream? Later exercise will reduce all of the stress in the body in preparation for an enjoyable night’s sleep. You’ll feel fantastic the next day.

Circuit training 

Get ready for a blast of summer fun with circuit training! It’s the ultimate way to get your heart pumping while toning your muscles and getting those summer abs. Say goodbye to boring workouts and hello to a full-body adventure!

Picture this: squats, lunges, push-ups, planks, and burpees – all in one amazing routine. No equipment required, just your awesome self and a desire to have a good time.

Here’s how it works: set a specific time, or rep goal for each exercise, and keep the momentum going by moving seamlessly from one move to the next. Forget about those long rests between sets – it’s all about the energy and flow here!

Flexibility and stretching

Don’t forget to add a touch of flexibility and relaxation to your workout routine towards the end of it. It’s time to relax, revitalize, and stretch like you’ve never stretched before!

Consider yourself gently flowing through a beautiful yoga practice or channeling your inner Pilates pro. These activities aren’t only for the flexible; they’re for everyone who wants to improve their mobility, avoid injuries, and find their Zen in the summer heat.

Make it a habit to spend some time stretching after your workout. It’s like a cool breeze on a hot summer day, we promise. Feel the tension melt away as you stretch your muscles, letting go of the day’s stress and discovering inner peace.

Let’s face it, working out isn’t always the most entertaining thing to do. But with this routine, you can spice it up and actually have fun while sweating it out. So next time when you take your workout outside to the shining sun and the chirping birds, make sure you stay hydrated and pick the perfect time to exercise.

Circuit training adds a fun twist to your routine, while engaging your whole body. And when you’re done, don’t forget to stretch it out and find your inner zen while improving your flexibility and mobility.

This summer, make exercising  a joyful part of your sun-drenched days. You’ll feel energized, fulfilled, and ready to take on anything life throws your way. So, what are you waiting for? It’s time to shine bright and sweat hard!
