How to Keep Up Your Summertime Workouts

Summertime can be a whirlwind of different schedules, kids’ activities, vacations and taking advantage of more daylight. It’s normal for workout routines to shift as you want to spend more time outside, and vacations can take you away from your normal routines.

If you struggle with consistency while traveling or with the change in summer schedule, here are some tips to support you in moving and feeling your best.

  • Learn what movement feels the best for your body and spend time doing that. It’s much harder to force yourself to exercise doing something you don’t enjoy. Exercise and movement should feel good in your body! You’ll naturally want to include it in your summer activities when they do.

  • Have a regular practice of a few simple exercises or stretches to support your health and well-being. A few minutes of movement will start your day off right, ease travel aches and pains and offer consistency with different schedules. Want help with this? I’m happy to design a program for you!

  • A little movement counts! Don’t have time for a full workout? Any movement is good! A few minutes of stretching or a few minutes of exercise is better than none!

  • Try going for a walk. Especially while traveling, walking is a great way to move your body and see some sights.

  • Join a virtual Pilates class while on vacation. If you’re used to in person Pilates, consider taking a virtual class to keep your Pilates practice consistent while you are away or have a different schedule.

Enjoy the different pace that this season brings and keep moving however feels good to you.
