How To Prepare For Summer 2012

Whilst we’re starting to look forward to the delights of the summer sun, our figures are just coming out of winter hibernation. It’s time to start shedding the layers and start getting bikini-ready, but our summer resolutions can quickly go out of the window during the season of al fresco drinking and delicious barbeques. Luckily there are some easy ways to fit a new health regime into the exciting build-up to the summer, helping to keep your bikini masterplan on track.

Exercise Smartly

Many of us fall into the trap of believing that the quickest way to a Hollywood figure is to hit the gyms for three hours every day of the week. Whilst this philosophy is the quickest way to aching muscles and limbs, it’s actually one of the worst weight-loss tactics for most people. Continual pain is not a motivator.

Forget about the latest fitness fad and incorporate some easy exercises into your everyday routine. As the sun is shining, try to minimise your reliance on your car or public transport and walk as much as you can throughout the day. It’s much easier to take a little more time walking around your local area than it is to keep to an exhausting exercise regime at the gym. You’ll be amazed at home quickly your legs will begin to tone up, so why not show off your pins in a pair of the latest Ted Baker shoes?

Eat Healthily

When it comes to maintaining a healthy lifestyle, it’s never advisable to put your body through any extreme diet. Instead, try to create a meal based around your favourite healthy foods, making it an interesting challenge each time. Ensure that you eat at regular times and that you get as many of your five-a-day as possible. Pre-sliced fruit and vegetables make a great snack and can be spiced up with a side salsa. It’s also important to drink lots of water throughout the day to boost your energy levels and concentration.

Work Together

Finally, remember that you’re not alone in your preparations for the summer: most of your friends and family will be in exactly the same boat. Make sure you enlist their help and make a go of it together. Sharing the burden will make the process far more enjoyable and will create a support network that will prove vital when you have a bad day. Most importantly, don’t forget to enjoy yourself in the summer sun!
