You know what happens every spring. Late April or early May comes around and you start to feel the pressure of summer. Are those cut offs going to fit like they did last year? Oh god, next month is your best friends annual pool party bash and you have to wear a bikini in-front of 50 people! So what do you do? You cleanse, diet, hot yoga and work your butt off for a fantastic ‘summer ready’ you! You are feeling great and flaunting your hard work for weeks. But… what happens to your new found physic during these hot summer nights? Admit it. We all have one too many pool side margaritas, Smores by the campfire and our fair share of Uncle Jim’s famous hot dogs! As we approach the end of the season, most of us are bloated versions of our former June selves. Our hair is a little dry, we spent too much time roasting in a lounge chair and our bodies are crying for a little detoxification!
The start of fall is the perfect time to commence your ‘End Of Summer’ fitness regime.
It is far enough from the hectic holiday season and then perfect time to start good habits for both fitness and nutrition. We all want to curl up in a big ol’ blanket when winter comes around, unless you have trained your brain to stick to a fun workout schedule.
So what sort of fitness program could you start?
Well, you could go to your local gym, but that takes some travel time, an expensive membership and is hard for homemakers and busy business people. Consider working out from home! You can shower there, don’t have to drive in traffic and you are way more likely to stick with it when you remove those obstacles.
How do you stay motivated?
There are so many support challenge groups that you can plug yourself into online, do it with your spouse, or have a friend come and join you.
What are some of the BEST home workout programs?
With so many available for all different levels of endurance, here are just a few of my personal favs!
PiYo
This is Pilates and Yoga rolled into one! Piyo is perfect for anyone who wants to burn fat & tone without high-impact pounding. Every workout features a modifier so you can adjust your level. PiYo takes you through stretching, strengthening and body weight resistance based exercises at a fast flowing pace- to sculpt and define every muscle, while you burn major calories! See more PiYo

Focus T-25
25 Minutes. 5 Days a Week. 100% Results. The only thing standing between you and the results you want is TIME. Shaun T experimented for the last year to design a program that delivers the same kind of results you’d expect from an hour-long program, in under 30 minutes. He’s pulled out the rest to give you everything you need, nothing you don’t. The result is FOCUS T25—and the name implies the intent: If you focus your intensity for 25 minutes, and you do it 5 days a week, you WILL get results.
