Many of us spend all year trying to get into our best shape for summer and once it finally comes, so do the temptations and delicious foods. Whether it’s barbecues, graduation parties, holidays, or weddings, sticking to a healthy lifestyle during the summer is really difficult. Here are three common mistakes to watch out for that are ruining your healthy lifestyle and how to avoid them.

Going Overboard at Barbecues

Between the processed meats, toppings, condiments, sides, and desserts, it’s easy to fill your plate with foods that don’t fit into your diet. A healthier option for burgers is lean ground beef, salmon, or turkey. In regards to toppings, choose avocado instead of mayonnaise or ketchup. Fill up your plate with veggies, vinaigrette-based pasta or bean salads, and hummus.

Drinking Frozen Fruity Beverages and Smoothies

Fruity frozen alcoholic beverages and smoothies have tons of sugar and are loaded with calories. If you’re looking for an alcoholic drink, sip on vodka with soda water and lime or a margarita with lime juice and orange juice. For smoothies, make them at home so you can control how much sugar is added to them.

Working Out to Burn Calories

Some people work out extra hard prior to big events like barbecues so they can eat more or after them to burn what they’ve eaten. Instead of thinking of exercising as a way to be able to eat something, focus on the benefits of it and how it makes you feel.

No matter how hard you commit yourself to your workout, bad habits have the power to completely ruin your progress. Here are a few post-workout patterns that are doing you more harm than good.

Skipping Water

If you’re one of those people who enjoy treating themselves to a can of soda after a workout, it’s time to wave this habit goodbye. Plain old water is no. 1 beverage your body needs in order to rehydrate after an intense hour at the gym.

Staying In Gym Clothes

Getting rid of your sweaty clothes is a must, since they can clog your pores and even cause skin rashes and bacterial infections. Changing into something more comfortable and clean is also good for circulation, and it can lead to a faster recovery after a workout.

Eating Wrong Snacks

It’s really important to refuel in the first 30 minutes after leaving a gym, but you won’t do your body any favors by going to Burger King. Opt for healthy, low-fat snacks that will provide you with enough protein until the next meal.

Going to the gym on regular basis doesn’t necessarily mean you’re making the best of your workout. Bad habits can easily sneak their way into your fitness routine, and here’s five you should definitely avoid.

Using Your Phone

There’s nothing wrong about using a phone at the gym, as long as it’s not a distraction. If you find yourself scrolling through Instagram and texting between the sets, you should probably ditch it all together.

Being Too Social

Having a workout buddy is all fun and games, until you start spending more time chatting with them than actually focusing on your workout.

https://www.instagram.com/p/BuJvFevFPkx/

Sticking to Your Guns

We all have our favorite exercises, but sticking to them and never trying anything new won’t do you any good. It’s important to change your routine if you want to see real progress.

Not Stretching After

Many people find stretching boring and tend to avoid it all together. We can’t stress how important it is to do this every time, since it’s the best way to reset the muscles after a demanding workout.

Energy Drinks

Many people turn to energy drinks in hope they’ll help them make it through their workout, but it’s important to remember they’re filled sugar and chemicals that aren’t doing you any good.

If you’re fully committed to your fitness routine, but still making zero effort, you should probably examine your lifestyle as a whole. Some of our daily habits have a powerful impact on your workouts, and they can even hurt your progress.

Lack of sleep

You need to be properly rested to achieve good results. Reducing sleep so you could have enough time to exercise won’t do you any favors, and you’ll feel tired and stressed out during every workout.

Improper hydration

It may seem like a bother, but bringing a bottle of water every time you hit the gym is a must. This precious liquid will keep your body moving during workouts and help regulate your body temperature.

Skipping warm-up

A lot of people want to get to business as soon as they enter the gym, and wish they could skip stretching all together. Don’t let yourself be one of them. Warm-ups are extremely important because they prep your body for what’s coming next.

Doing the same things

Sticking to the same fitness routine is also a bad habit because it means you’re constantly targeting the same areas instead of focusing on improving your whole body.

Poor nutrition

The calorie counter isn’t always a reflection of your health, and it shouldn’t stop you from having a snack before your training. Working out hungry will prevent you from doing your best, and you should avoid at all cost.
