With the much-needed December holiday break creeping ever so close, there is no greater time than NOW to start working on your summer body goals.
At Diminish, we are all about helping you feel radiant and confident in your own skin. That’s why we have compiled a few pointers to help you achieve your beach-ready bod.
Plan Your Approach
Do you struggle to achieve your goals? Poor planning is often the reason for that.
According to fitness guru Julia Buckley, most people don’t stick with exercise [and other healthy habits] because they don’t have a plan. “You need a route map to get where you want to be,” she says. “I usually recommend 12-week plans because I recommend reassessing your progress and goals every three months.”
Work on What You Eat
Eating healthy does not only lead to better weight-loss results, but the nutritious value of foods can also help with bloating, inflammation and other unwanted symptoms.
Try to eat lots of vegetables, protein and healthy fats. According to fitness instructor Becky Uterhark, health, strength and wellbeing are the results from 70% of what goes in your body and 30% of what exercise you do.
“Make sure you are eating enough food,” Uterhark says. “It’s so old-school to think ‘if I miss breakfast and just eat lunch and dinner, I’ll lose weight’. It’s not true! Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, lunch and dinner are also an important time to get your colourful veggies, protein and essential fats.”
Mix Up Your Workouts
Sometimes workouts can feel more like a job than fun, so it is important to vary your workout routine.
Although easier said than done, creating a new active and healthy habit will help you feel more confident this coming summer. Aim for full body exercises and don’t be scared to use your body weight to help you build muscle as this will help you burn calories faster than fat does.
Stay Hydrated
According to Nutritionist Becki Douglas, staying hydrated is vital to help regulate appetite and maximise the body’s fat burning capacity. “Aim for at lease two liters of water per day,” says Douglas. “And this does NOT include tea and coffee!”
Keep a Diary
Not only is it important to set an end goal, but it could be beneficial to have smaller targets that run alongside your ultimate aim.
By keeping a diary, you won’t only be holding yourself accountable, but it might just be empowering to page back and see how far you’ve come compared to where you’ve started.
