Getting ready for Summer






It’s almost spring and we all know what that means! Summer is just around the corner - YIKES!!



For most of us that means, hiking, swimming, camping, trips etc… the list can be endless BUT if our bodies aren’t ready we won't be able to enjoy those activities as much.  It’s not that you need to go to a gym 5 days a week and spend countless hours working out.  It’s also about enjoying life.


Do you know what it takes to be ready for Summer or what that looks like?   No? Well it’s about adding small increments of activity into your daily life,  Here is a list of some ways to become more active:


 1 - unplug yourself from your electronic devices
 2 - take the stairs as much as possible
 3.- park as far away from the front door as possible
 4 - cleaning either your house or garage
 5 - purchasing a pedometer to keep track of your activity
 6 - have walk meetings or book clubs or just a walk with your family
 7 - drink plenty of water, even adding more fruit is a nice addition
 8 - stretching or yoga
 9 - pick a hobby that you enjoy - whether it’s painting, woodworking etc…
10 - get plenty of sleep

The best time to start is NOW!  Otherwise, when Summer is here you’ll be wishing that you started sooner.
