3 Tips for Getting Your Beach Body Ready for This Summer

While the sun never seems to shop shining in Arizona, the quickly approaching summer season likely still has you thinking about how to get your “beach bod” in time for the hotter weather. At ProLean Wellness, we believe that getting healthy and losing weight is all about making permanent lifestyle changes, but if you are ready to get started on the road to better health now, here are a few tips to follow to help get your body ready for swimsuit season.

Tip #1: Watch What You Eat

Food is your number one concern when it comes to getting healthy and losing weight. In addition to cutting out snacks, you should also be sure to include protein with every meal. Not only does protein help to increase muscle mass, but it also helps with weight loss too. 

Tip #2: Don’t Drink Your Calories

Many people consume an excessive amount of calories throughout the day with beverages, ranging from soda to sweet tea and from fruit juices to alcoholic beverages. Rather than drinking your calories, increase your water intake and set the sugary drinks aside. 

Tip #3: Get Plenty of Exercise

Exercising not only helps to burn calories and build muscle, but it can also help to improve the overall shape of your body. For example, training for a better posture can help to give your physique an overall better appearance. In addition, poor posture can contribute to join pain, reduced flexibility and other issues that make you less likely to be physically active. Your routine should also include high-intensity interval training that alternates between short bouts of high-intensity exercise followed by short bouts of recovery. Strength training to develop your upper back muscles will also help to make your waist appear smaller and more defined.
