Summer is my favorite time of the year. I enjoy getting together with friends for parties and BBQs and sitting on my deck soaking in the sunshine. I try to stay active during the summer to counter some of my summer indulgences. For me, daily walks with my dog, gardening and bike rides give me the exercise I need to stay fit. I am not one to follow, or recommend, drastic dietary or exercise regimens. They are just too hard to stick to, and can be frustrating over the long term. I think that it is all about balance…eating a healthy diet on most days, getting regular exercise and taking supplements to support lifestyle measures. If you would like to read some of my tips for staying fit this summer, check out my article here.
