Summer Fitness Hacks

By Mums Mail Magazine30/10/20172 Mins Read

Summer is on its way, and if you are not already in a good exercise routine, here are some everyday hacks to help you reach your fitness goals!

Portion out your not-so-healthy treats.
If you always find yourself furiously craving snacks like chips, pretzels, gummi bears, or M&Ms, portion servings out into baggies so you don’t devour the whole package when those inevitable sweet cravings arise.

Add weight while blow drying.
A life hack every girl can try: Add wrist weights to your arms before you start blow drying your hair, or using other hot tools. Depending on your hair length and thickness, it could take over 20 minutes to completely dry. By adding weight on your arms, you’ll be challenging your muscles as you style with your (probably heavy) dryer and a hairbrush.

Make your playlists as long as each workout.
Do this, and you won’t be glancing at the time the whole way through. You stop when the music stops.

Bring the dog!
If you’re looking for extra workout motivation, bring your dog with you for an outdoor walk or run. They need exercise too.

Sitting all day can be a real detriment to your health, so it pays to sneak in some exercise at work. Here’s how to strengthen your abs and relieve tired leg muscles without getting up from your desk: Start with feet flat on floor, sit tall at your desk, and hold ab muscles tight. From there, extend one leg until it is level with your hip. Hold for 10 seconds lower leg slowly, and repeat 15 times before changing legs.
