How to get back in shape after the summer

During the summer and your holidays exercise takes a back seat, and this is reflected in your physical performance when you get back to your daily routine. On top of this, there is also your diet. During the summer, few people manage to maintain a balanced and healthy diet.

Therefore, in September it’s very common to be out of shape and a few pounds heavier. To get back in shape, it’s important to take certain steps and get down to work.

Tips on how to get back in shape

The most important thing is to have a clear objective and be motivated to achieve it. As always, patience and determination are vital, but the following tips will also help you to achieve your goal:

• Positive mind, feel good about yourself and happy.
• Don’t put off until tomorrow what you can do today, stop making excuses and establish a training plan and diet that are easy to follow, because regaining your focus and getting back into the habit are very important.
• Look after your diet. No more excesses, no more keeping crazy hours, no more ice cream…it’s time to show that you have willpower. Eat fruit, vegetables, high-quality protein, cereals, pulses, nuts, etc. Follow a healthy and balanced diet to meet your objective.
• Get back into your normal sleep schedule and routine, sleep for 8 hours, try to go to bed and get up around the same time; sleep in a quiet, cool and dark room; avoid napping for more than 20 minutes; do not consume stimulants (tobacco, coffee, alcohol) in the hours leading up to bedtime, etc. This will make it easier to get to sleep and improve your rest.
• Keep active: walk, run, cycle, swim, etc. and don’t let laziness and a sedentary lifestyle get the better of you. Exercise for at least 30 minutes a day to keep your metabolism ticking over and lose those pounds you gained over the summer.
• Resume training once you’ve got back into the swing of your daily routine. Start with low-intensity workouts and build them up as the days go by. Don’t forget to warm up and stretch thoroughly to avoid injuries and, of course, don’t strain your body. When you feel tired, rest.
• Food supplements that help you to enhance your physical performance and improve your health, like Keriba Sport by Probelte Pharma.
