We often strive toward unrealistic fitness goals once summer arrives, such as the perfect “bikini body”, but it doesn’t have to be that way. There are many healthy workout goals worth aiming for this season, great for both your physical and mental health.
10,000 Steps
What better way to bring a long summer day to an end than go for a long and relaxing stroll outside? Wait until the evening to avoid the heat, and try to reach the recommended 10,000 steps every day.
Outdoors Workouts
Many fitness lovers tend to turn to outdoor workouts once summer arrives, and you should do it, as well. Why spend your days stuck inside a gym, when you can have an amazing workout in the fresh air?
Time for a Run
Running is one of the most popular outdoor workouts, so why not get a medal for your troubles if it’s your fitness routine of choice? Search for 5K, 10K, and half-marathons in your area and find one that fits your current fitness level.
Water Sports
There’s no better time than summer to practice water sports. Swimming is the most obvious option because it provides an amazing full-body workout, but stand-up paddleboarding, kayaking, and surfing are also worth trying.
