Saying goodbye to summer: getting back in shape for the winter season

Summer has come to an end, leaving us with memories of sunny days, sea swims, and evenings spent outdoors. As we bid farewell to this warm season, we prepare to welcome autumn and, inevitably, winter. This is the perfect time to get back in shape and face the upcoming months with energy. The end of summer should not be seen as a closure but rather as an opportunity to set new wellness goals. After the summer pleasures, it’s natural to feel the need to restore a healthy routine that helps us feel energetic and fit. Here are some friendly tips to get back on track with a smile.

First of all, I recommend not trying to radically change your life overnight. Start with small steps, such as gradually increasing physical activity or making healthier food choices. Achievable goals are the ones that will motivate you to keep going. Find an activity you enjoy, whether it’s yoga, running, cycling, or dancing. Choosing an activity you like will make exercising a pleasure rather than a chore. Involving friends or family can make it even more fun.

After indulging in summer barbecues and ice cream, it’s time to focus on a balanced diet. Plan your weekly meals, including plenty of vegetables, fruits, lean proteins, and whole grains. Preparing meals in advance will help you stay on track without giving in to unhealthy temptations.

Having a weekly workout schedule and sticking to it will help you create a solid routine. Choose specific days and times for physical activity and treat these appointments with yourself as non-negotiable. Keep track of your progress with regular check-ins from your trusted nutritionist. Remember to note how you feel, improvements in performance, and changes in your body: these will motivate you to persevere and help your specialist identify the next steps for you.

Celebrate Successes! Every small step is a success and will help keep your motivation high. Reward yourself with something you enjoy, like a massage or a movie night.

The end of summer marks the beginning of a new phase, an opportunity to renew yourself and get back in shape for the winter. With a positive and realistic approach, we can maintain our health and wellness even in the colder months. Remember, it’s not just about how you look but how you feel. Embrace each day with energy and enthusiasm, and enjoy the journey towards a healthier and happier version of yourself!

Have a great start to the season!
