Have Your Best Summer Ever


Do you wish you could have more fun this Summer? Get out and play. Pick up those golf clubs or get out  your tennis racket and go enjoy an evening playing your favorite sport(s). If you've been out of practice for a while - no worries! Just start slow and take your time. We can't all hit serves like Andy Roddick or Rafa. Who cares? Enjoy the company and the activity.

The more you sweat  - the better. You'll lift your spirits and experience that natural high every athlete knows when they get into "the zone".

Have you been inactive for a few years? Is your belly a little larger than in your college or high school years? You're not alone. Millions of Americans have reached their 30s or beyond and had the same issues with their waistline. Summer is the perfect time to get outdoors and enjoy family and friends while you get into better shape!

Set a goal for yourself. Wipe your schedule clean for just 2 hours some evening and go play 9 holes or chase tennis balls with your children or loved ones. Invite a friend to go jogging with you or even just a walk! Next week - try for 2 nights. Sneak in an early morning run before the temperatures get into the 80s or even hotter.

If losing weight is one of your goals - Start today. Or pick up the pace of your fitness efforts.  Healthy and successful weight loss pros have known the path to lasting weight loss for years. For healthy, and lasting weight control, the secret is not found in miracle potions or herbs. The quickest way to lose weight has been practiced with astounding success for hundreds of years.

Two simple habits - Work your body hard and eat healthy. Since so many of us have office jobs - requiring extended periods of sitting - the hard work usually means exercise. 

Any kind of exercise you enjoy will work! Choose several fun activities where you can burn a bunch of calories and really work your heart and lungs. Get your heart pounding and feel yourself breathing hard! Work your muscles too. Muscles burn calories and help you shed those extra pounds of body fat!

Want to tighten up those abs? The best way to lose belly fat is burn it off! Burn those extra calories and do some abs exercises to help build your core muscles. Sculpting a tighter tummy and getting rid of belly fat is never easy. You'll have to put in the time - running, walking, swimming, or even rowing.
