       Your 10-Point Summer Countdown to a Healthier You

       Your 10-Point Summer Countdown to a Healthier You
       BY KEVIN GRAY MAY 23, 2018
       The official start to summer is June 21. But in practical terms,
       it’s whenever you find yourself outdoors, poolside or otherwise
       enjoying the longer days and warmer nights. Whether you circle
       the summer solstice on your calendar or not, you’ve got 31 days
       to prepare.
       First up, undoing some of those questionable choices you’ve made
       over the past few months. You know, the Netflix binges, the
       comfort food deliveries, the … generally staying indoors. To
       feel your best this summer, you’ll want to eat better, be active
       and set yourself up for success.
       This 10-point summer countdown will help. Some of these healthy
       lifestyle tips are ones you already do and some might need some
       extra work to become second nature. Either way, this plan is
       meant to be flexible.
       Follow along and you’ll be ready to take on all the beach days,
       vacations, weddings and everything else summer throws your way.

       10. DRINK MORE WATER
       Drinking water is always a good idea. Even more so when the
       weather’s warm, as you need to replace sweat and stay hydrated.
       But, as you approach summer, drinking water can help detox your
       system, improve your complexion, curb your appetite, aid
       digestion and even keep your mind sharp. To recap: Water is
       good. Generally, men should consume 15 cups and women 11 cups of
       water a day.
       9. WALK MORE
       Walking is a lot more fun when you’re not trudging through snow
       and rain. So, use this pleasant weather to get outdoors and walk
       around. Whether it’s for exercise, getting to and from work or
       just finding opportunities to take more steps, the benefits to
       your health are numerous — think: lower blood pressure and
       greater weight loss. To track your efforts, you can use the
       MyFitnessPal app to count your steps. Set a target step goal
       (many people use 10,000) and track your progress.
       8. EAT YOUR VEGETABLES
       The days of hearty stews are over, and the time for light,
       vegetable-driven meals has arrived. Rather than simply
       garnishing your plate with a token veggie, make vegetables the
       star of the show. Get creative with salads, whip up a stir-fry
       or try some zucchini pasta. Another way to keep things
       interesting: Join a CSA and discover some new-to-you veggies.
       7. GET PLENTY OF SLEEP
       Inadequate sleep has been shown to affect your weight, food
       choices and stress control — all things that can sabotage your
       summer fitness goals. So, set a bedtime, and stick to it, aiming
       for 7–9 hours of sleep per night. You’ll wake up feeling
       refreshed and ready to take on the day.
       6. BRING YOUR LUNCH TO WORK
       Those midday sandwich runs can really add up. Especially when
       you throw in chips. And a drink. To combat the hunger-induced
       bad decisions, bring your lunch to work. That way, you control
       the ingredients and portions, so you know exactly what you’re
       eating.
       5. ADOPT HIIT WORKOUTS TO BURN MORE CALORIES
       High-intensity interval training (HIIT) will get your heart
       pumping, burn calories and fat — and it can do all that in 30
       minutes or less. So, adding interval training to your regular
       exercise regimen is an effective way to mix things up.
       4. TARGET YOUR CORE
       Chances are, you might find yourself in a swimsuit this summer.
       Which means now is the time to work on those abs. You don’t need
       fancy equipment or even a gym — you just need a little space to
       move around.
       3. CREATE A PLAYLIST THAT KEEPS YOU MOVING
       Listening to music has been shown to boost your performance and
       enjoyment while working out, and some studies suggest the right
       music can even increase power output. At the very least, it’s
       fun and distracting, which is often just what you need when
       pushing through a tough workout. So, create a playlist — or
       multiple playlists — that get you energized, and break them out
       when you’re on the trail or at the gym.
       2. REDUCE THOSE EMPTY LIQUID CALORIES
       Beer, wine, cocktails and even soda have their place. And
       sometimes, that place is comfortably nestled in your hand. But
       all those calories add up. The average soda contains about 140
       calories. Wine clocks in around 120 calories per glass, while
       stouts and hoppy IPAs can approach 200. Cocktails with several
       ingredients are even more. But water … water has 0 calories. And
       tasty sparkling waters like La Croix and Waterloo: still 0. So
       reach for some bubbles (no, not champagne) the next time you’re
       craving something festive, and you’ll cut calories while staying
       hydrated.
       1. PLAN AN ACTIVE VACATION
       OK, now it’s time for the fun part: vacation. Sure, you could
       lie on the beach for a week or sip drinks from the comfort of a
       hammock. But try mixing in some physical activity to reap the
       benefits of all you’ve accomplished above. Plan a hiking or
       biking trip to a national park. Go on a yoga retreat. Vacation
       in one of America’s most walkable cities. No matter your
       destination, be sure to build in plenty of time to relax. You’re
       on vacation, and you earned it.

       pushing through a tough workout. So, create a playlist — or
       multiple playlists — that get you energized, and break them out
       when you’re on the trail or at the gym.

       >
       > Beer, wine, cocktails and even soda have their place. And
       sometimes, that place is comfortably nestled in your hand. But
       all those calories add up. The average soda contains about 140
       calories. Wine clocks in around 120 calories per glass, while
       stouts and hoppy IPAs can approach 200. Cocktails with several
       ingredients are even more. But water … water has 0 calories. And
       tasty sparkling waters like La Croix and Waterloo: still 0. So
       reach for some bubbles (no, not champagne) the next time you’re
       craving something festive, and you’ll cut calories while staying
       hydrated.

       hammock. But try mixing in some physical activity to reap the

       biking trip to a national park. Go on a yoga retreat. Vacation
       in one of America’s most walkable cities. No matter your
       destination, be sure to build in plenty of time to relax. You’re
       on vacation, and you earned it.

       >
       > The official start to summer is June 21. But in practical
       terms, it’s whenever you find yourself outdoors, poolside or
       otherwise enjoying the longer days and warmer nights. Whether
       you circle the summer solstice on your calendar or not, you’ve
       got 31 days to prepare.
       >
       > First up, undoing some of those questionable choices you’ve
       made over the past few months. You know, the Netflix binges, the
       comfort food deliveries, the … generally staying indoors. To
       feel your best this summer, you’ll want to eat better, be active
       and set yourself up for success.
       >
       > This 10-point summer countdown will help. Some of these
       healthy lifestyle tips are ones you already do and some might
       need some extra work to become second nature. Either way, this
       plan is meant to be flexible.
       >
       > Follow along and you’ll be ready to take on all the beach
       days, vacations, weddings and everything else summer throws your
       way.

       > 10. DRINK MORE WATER
       >
       > Drinking water is always a good idea. Even more so when the
       weather’s warm, as you need to replace sweat and stay hydrated.
       But, as you approach summer, drinking water can help detox your
       system, improve your complexion, curb your appetite, aid
       digestion and even keep your mind sharp. To recap: Water is
       good. Generally, men should consume 15 cups and women 11 cups of
       water a day.
