How to keep fit for the summer? Here are 6 tips.
How to keep fit for the summer? And why think about it a little earlier?
From September to April, people with weight problems tend to put off any diet and good resolution, and then rush to the last-minute remedy from May onwards, and seek the miracle from late June to early August.
In these months you see people take more interest in crash diets , slimming drinks and fat burning substances and go to the gym hoping to lose as much weight as possible while sweating on the treadmill.
But this insane research leads to many disadvantages.
Weight stall, tendency to get fat and bloat, digestive problems, additional stress that result in difficulty actually losing weight.
When it would be enough to take some precautions in the previous months to keep fit in the summer: and keep fit even after the summer! Here are a few.
HOW TO KEEP IN SHAPE FOR SUMMER?
- Clean up the pantry . Cut back on foods (or don’t buy them at all) that contain added sugar, instead try to make healthier recipes at home where possible, and if you don’t know where to start, here are some great recipe blogs.
No fruit yogurt, juices, snacks, biscuits and other snacks at home. - Switch your snacks: try having a dozen almonds or skimmed Greek yogurt as a snack, or homemade simple snacks , like this light pudding , these muffins , these mini bounties .
- Cut back on carbs without cutting them out entirely.
Halve the portions of bread and pasta in favor of more vegetables, eat no more than two portions of fruit a day, avoid sugar in your coffee and eat only one “forbidden” dessert a week, such as a croissant or ice cream.
There is no need to go on a protein or low carb diet to lose weight, just reduce the portions of bread, pasta, rice and baked goods, increase the consumption of vegetables, and limit sugar in all its forms, preferring to the limit of stevia or other zero-calorie sweetener. - Do a HIIT 3 times a week: you know Kayla Itsines programs?
Here, you can do something similar at home, half an hour a day three times a week, to boost your metabolism. The trick is to do exercises quickly, for a limited amount of time, that involve the whole body and not just a part of it.
For example , lunges, squats, pushups, jumps, knee-high runs, burpees .
You can do 10 repetitions of 3 or 4 exercises all together, take a two minute break and repeat for another 3-4 cycles. On youtube you will find many circuits to try.
Here I propose you one. - Eat carbohydrates or some treats close to training: for example shortly before or immediately after.
This way the body burns them much easier, and promotes fat loss the rest of the time. - Do a useful detox.
Just start the morning with a warm herbal tea (not tea) in which we sprinkle a little lemon juice to do an effective intestinal cleansing and every now and then cleanse ourselves of waste with this method , which can also take away a few extra pounds.In this way you can be able to lose even two or three kilos a month but without going on a diet!
