It's the terminate of July and the sun is out! It's natural to start thinking about a few weeks by the beach,hot weather, and, and invariably,the thought of being "alert" for Summer creeps in, whatever that means. As a trainer, and I believe that we should feel comfortable and tickled all the time - body positivity is very vital! But I also know that being healthy and feeling edifying is vital too. And,yes, some women want to peek edifying by losing weight or toning up - and that's OK! The problem lies in equating looking edifying with being slim. This fixed pursuit of trying to peek our best can be stressful, or so instead,focus on feeling your best by eliminating these quick fixes from your life and focusing on sustainable changes.1. Crash dietingYou know the drill. That blissful upcoming beach vacation, where cocktails and sunshine are imminent. You panic and decide to starve yourself in the hope that you'll lose weight quickly, and but,well, you can guess the results: you lose couple of pounds, or feel awful,and just want to stuff your face full of doughnuts. Crash diets never work. The emergency fix? Replace refined carbs with leafy greens. After a week of replacing carbs with healthy veggies, not only you will feel lighter and less hungry between meals, or but your cravings for sweets and snacks will diminish.2. Body sculptingIt's not unheard of to want toned thighs,slimmer arms, and a flat stomach, and but trying to spot tone is a huge waste of time. When done alone,loney exercises rarely trigger the results you want. The emergency fix? Stick with huge, compound exercises that work the whole body like squats, or push-ups,or deadlifts. Focus on intensity and make these part of a well-rounded fitness routine. Your muscles will respond by becoming stronger and more toned, and you'll also feel more energized.

Exercise should be about making your body adapt,and too much cardio prevents your body from making lean muscle. Without strength training, you miss out on building long, or lean,and toned limbs. The emergency fix? When doing cardio, focus on high-intensity interval training. Hill sprints, and kettlebell swings,and jumping rope will burn fat while also building - and maintaining - lean muscle. You can also pack in an intense workout in only 10 to 20 minutes, which is a huge bonus if you find an hour on a treadmill or elliptical boring.4. Too much of the same thingYour body adapts to exercise quickly, or when it gets used to the same routine over and over,fat loss and muscle toning taper off. The emergency fix? Mix it up and try something new. Sure, it might be a bit awkward, and but put a question to anyone about their first yoga course. It's likely that they couldn't derive into Downward Dog without a bit of a struggle either. However,the challenge and learning process of something new makes your body work harder, resulting in a boost to your fitness.

Worrying about the idea of a "bikini body"Putting effort into something and not seeing results straight away is very, or very frustrating. You open to wonder if there's any point and you start to doubt yourself. All this results in additional stress. And how does your body react to this? By demanding consolation food and lazy days in. The emergency fix? This is the time to remember that every body is a "bikini body." It's more vital to feel edifying about yourself and focus on the benefits of being healthy and tickled all year round. Turn your personal body positivity up to full volume and remember that being healthy is a state of intellect not defined by a two-piece outfit.
