Summer time is not the time to skip your workouts

Why do we go to the gym? To improve our lives outside the gym in some shape or form. In order to do that, working out cant be a seasonal thing. It’s ok to not be so rigid and strict with things like nutrition because we have more social occasions and if we stick to our habits we can maintain our composition fairly well. However, it’s pretty hard to maintain your strength without lifting weights. So what can you do?

When summer throws you off schedule, plan ahead. If your plan is to go to the beach, get your workout in earlier. Pack the car with all your beach car and leave directly from the gym to the beach and you can still get there early with plenty of parking! If you’re traveling, plan to move your body as a family and teach your kids that fitness is fun, done daily no matter what, or maybe even drop into another box.

Schedules change, not priorities. Your health needs to stay above everything else. That means lifting weights, heavy and often. Walks, runs, and bike rides are great but do not replace strength training. Strength training happens year round to life longer, better lives.
