]]>Strict Diets
Most people’s appetite changes in the summer, but you shouldn’t use the fact that you’re less hungry to embrace a dangerous diet. Even if your appetite decreases in the heat, you should still make sure to stay well-fed and properly hydrated and not use this phenomenon as an extra reason to start a strict diet.
“Bikini Body”
“Bikini body” is the unachievable standard you’ll be bombarded with from all sides this summer. On the surface level, it may seem like the idea of the perfect summer body can be inspirational, but it’s actually putting too much pressure on women to look a certain way and you shouldn’t use it for a motivational boost.
Outdoor Activities
Stepping outdoors is one of the most common motivational tips for the hot summer months, but it doesn’t work for everyone. If you think you could enjoy it, give it a shot, but don’t feel bad if you prefer training at your local gym or your living room. Every routine has its perks and you should pick one that works for you.

]]>Staying Cool
Once you find ways to stay cool during your summer workouts, you won’t struggle so much committing to them. Working out at the gym with a functioning AC is your safest bet, but you can also stay cool by picking the right clothing and making sure you’re properly hydrated.
San Francisco (@jaleen.u)Perfect Timing
If you’re working out outdoors, it’s extremely important to perfectly time your workouts. Early morning or late evening are the best options because temperatures are at their lowest, and it’s up to you to pick the time of day when you feel the most motivated.
Summer Activities
If classic gym simply doesn’t do it for you, and you don’t enjoy the usual outdoor activities such as running and biking, it’s time to think outside the box. The list of summer-only sports you can try is pretty much endless, and swimming, kayaking, and standup paddle-boarding are only some of the possible choices.

]]>Morning Workouts
If you enjoy working out outdoors, you can’t really do it anytime you want. Morning workouts are your best option because it’s not unbearably warm outside. They allow you to start your day on a high note and get one item from your to-do list out of the way.
Switching Things Up
Running, cycling, and hitting the gym are not your only workout options. Summer is rich in opportunities for all sorts of different outdoor activities that will give you a major calorie burn.
Reward System
Working out in the summer comes with a unique set of obstacles, and you should give yourself a tap on the back for doing it. Treat yourself for staying committed to your fitness routine by setting up a reward system—preferably one that doesn’t involve unhealthy treats.
