6 Ways To Get Summer Ready

The sun is shining, the temperature is heating up and there’s nothing better than feeling energetic, fit and confident all summer long. Best of all? It’s never too late to get summer ready. Here’s what you can do to kick start your health and fitness:

1.  Get into an exercise routine. An exercise routine is a sure fire way to get summer ready fast. Plan your approach and every week map out which exercise you’ll be doing each day. Yup, that’s right. Every day! Stay motivated by getting a friend to join you throughout the week. They’ll not only keep it fun, but they’ll keep you motivated and accountable.

2.  Mix your workouts. We’re all about a variety of cardio and weight training over here – it’s what keeps things interesting and it means you’ll be more likely to stick with your exercise routine! Join F45 and FS8 for those important weekly HIIT classes. Weight training is essential for building strong muscles, so pop into NoosaFit to chat with one of their qualified trainers who’ll create a program specially tailored to your needs. Pro Tip: Get your exercise done in the morning so it’s done and you can enjoy the rest of the day without having to think about exercising later on. It’s a great feeling!

3.  Get new activewear. There’s nothing more motivating than treating yourself to new activewear and training gear when you’re getting back into exercising. All the gear and all the idea! Choose from a range of leggings, shorts, tees, sports crops and bras from Rockwear for your high impact sessions. If you’re into low impact exercise, such as yoga and pilates, pop into Cotton On Body. They have a great range of pieces for those stretchy, less intensive workouts.

4.  It’s all about the footwear. It’s important to ensure you have the right footwear when you exercise. Whether you’re lifting weights at the gym or going for a run on the road or treadmill, you’ll need to make sure your ankles and legs are fully supported. Pop into The Athlete’s Foot and get your sneakers personally fitted by one of their friendly and knowledgeable experts.

5.  Stay hydrated and eat well. This goes without saying but there’s literally no point sweating it out everyday if you aren’t going to eat well and stay hydrated. Pop into the Noosa Health Store and talk to the team about your exercise routine. They’ll be able to recommend a variety of snacks, sports drinks, ingredients and vitamins that will help you feel energised and fit all summer long. 

Our tip – try out the Vital All-in-one Superfood powder.

6.  Keep a diary. A diary is not only a great way to plan your daily exercise routine, but it also acts as a great way to keep track of what you’re eating. Pop into Paperboxx Newsagency and pick up a diary or a notebook, and get started tracking your efforts today! You’ll be amazed at how far you’ve come in just a couple of months!
