We are now well into spring and the sun is currently out in all its glory across the UK, as temperatures threaten to actually go above 15°, shock horror!
But let’s not forget that summer will arrive before we know it, and many Brits will probably be thinking about ways to shed those extra pounds acquired over the festive period that are still lingering over the waistline. After all, who wouldn’t want to lose the excess baggage and transform their body in time to hit the beach!
Therefore, with summer around the corner and thousands of us due to escape to even hotter destinations overseas, let Medical Specialists® Pharmacy run through some tips to lose weight, tone up, and turn heads on the beach.
Get moving
If you are not a member of a gym for whatever reason – maybe finances won’t allow it or work/home commitments leave little spare time – it is still possible to be active and burn those calories. If distance permits, consider walking to and from work instead of driving, make sure to walk the dog when possible, and you can even have fun in your own living room with the family. Videogames such as ‘Just Dance’ ensure that you can enjoy yourself whilst also keeping active.
Pick up the weights
There are some gym goers who want to shed pounds and simply stick to dieting and cardio exercise, i.e. the treadmill, exercise bike, cross trainer. Whilst this is clearly an effective method of losing weight, you run the risk of also losing some muscle mass and definition. To lose weight and gain – or at least maintain muscle – it is important to incorporate resistance training into your regime for a shapely and firm body. Firm, sculpted muscles are usually a primary aim of most men and women alike. Visible muscle tone is a great sign of health and fitness and an attractive attribute to potential partners!
