How To Maintain Your Summer Body At Home
by Natasha Christou Digital Marketing ConsultantStaying fit and healthy is of vital importance during this
difficult time. It is a real temptation to retreat into our bedrooms with
enough snacks to keep us going for a month and a Netflix schedule that will
while away the hours, but we’ve got to try and stay active. Of course, some
days will be designated purely to ‘Netflix and chill’, but it’s important to
get a healthy balance.
After all, we will see a change to this routine eventually,
and then it will once again be time to throw on one of your designer bikinis and head to the
beach. Until then, maintain your bikini body at home by following these tips
and tricks.
Eating Healthily
If you want to re-enter the world feeling and looking great,
then you need to focus on healthy eating as well as exercise. Boredom can lead
to binging but try to get a handle on your eating habits — the key is in the
planning and the meal prep. As your trips to the supermarket will be limited
(probably to a maximum of one trip per week) it’s a great idea to plan out our
meals in advance. This way, you’ll have all the ingredients to hand, ready to
create healthy and nutritious meals!
Why not also use some of your spare time experimenting with
new recipe ideas? Healthy meals don’t have to be boring, and with a little bit
of time and effort, you could create some delicious guilt-free treats!
Tech-xercise
Our workout routines have completely transformed over the
past few weeks. Many of us now have more time in our day to dedicate to
exercise, and it’s a great way to stave off the cabin fever. As well as keeping
you looking good and feeling strong, staying active can have a transformative
effect on your mental
health, and it can also strengthen your immune
system. Here are some ways in which you can create a new fitness regime
from your living room.
Improvised Equipment
You may be pining for the squat racks and barbells at your
local gym, but now is the time to start getting creative! Grab a heavy book or
two, swap out handheld weights for some cans of beans, or — if you’re feeling
up for a challenge — offer a piggyback to your child while doing your daily
squats!
Online Classes
Thanks to platforms such as Zoom, Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube it is now
possible to partake in a wide variety of gym classes online. With fitness
experts such as Joe Wicks
and channels like Yoga
With Adriene so easy to access online, you’ll feel like there’s a personal
trainer right there with you in the room.
If you’re wanting an even more ‘IRL’ experience, many gyms
and coaches are even streaming live classes via Facebook Live or Instagram Live
so you can follow along in real-time and stay motivated.
One trip out a day
As it currently stands, those of us who haven’t shown any
symptoms are still permitted one dose of daily outdoor exercise, so use it
well! It’s so important to get out in the sun, so whether you opt for a jog, a
walk, or a cycle, get outdoors and stay active.
Lockdown is proving to be a difficult time for us all, but
by trying to stay active and eating healthily, you’ll find it much easier to
maintain a positive attitude and you’ll come out the other side looking and
feeling fabulous! However, one of the most important lessons to remember is not
to be too hard on yourself! You’ve got a lot to worry about as it is, so don’t
beat yourself up if you need a day off the fitness regime and some extra snacks
to get you through the day. After all, every body is a bikini body, so as long
as you’re feeling healthy, happy, and confident in yourself, you’ll come out of
this feeling fantastic.
