S10 EP16: How to Enjoy Summer AND Keep Your Fitness Routine

Summer can be a real blast! And depending on where you live, it
can be short. And in your attempt to soak in every minute of
sunshine, your fitness routine may end up playing second fiddle.
But hold on, you’ve worked so hard up to this point. Don’t let
summer be the beginning of the end of 2024’s fitness and
nutrition goals, because RIGHT NOW is when it happens! 
Let’s fast forward to the fall for a minute. Do you see yourself
regretting the loss of your fitness as you slide into the chaos
of the holidays? Before you know it, it’s New Years and you are
making resolutions again. It doesn’t have to go down like that!


In this episode, Kelsea and Rachael share tips on how to be
realistic, flexible, and prepared this summer so that you keep
the deals you make with yourself and get your workout in despite
having travel plans, and maybe kids home or less equipment. The
hardest part of keeping a routine in summer is not the workout,
it’s being honest with yourself. But so what if your routine
looks a little different over the next several weeks? Give
yourself some grace but don’t let your habits fail. It’s summah
time! Let’s GO!
