How to Get Summer-Ready: 4 Simple Steps to Look & Feel Your Best
Summer is right around the corner, and if you want to feel confident, strong, and energized, now is the time to take action. Forget crash diets and last-minute panic workouts—getting in shape for summer is all about smart, sustainable habits that will have you looking and feeling your best.
Here’s exactly what you need to do:
1. Increase Your Activity Level
The more you move, the more you burn—it’s that simple. But not all movement is created equal.
Lift More: Strength training torches fat, builds muscle, and boosts metabolism long after your workout is over. Aim for at least three to four strength sessions per week.
Move More: Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis (NEAT) accounts for more daily calorie burn than exercise itself. Take the stairs, stand more, and be active throughout your day.
Walk More: Low-Intensity Steady-State (LISS) cardio, like daily walks, helps burn fat without stressing your body. Aim for 8,000 to 12,000 steps per day.
The takeaway: More movement leads to more fat burned and a leaner, stronger summer body.
2. Increase Protein, Decrease Calories
If your goal is fat loss while keeping muscle, the formula is simple:
Eat more protein: It keeps you full, fuels muscle retention, and boosts metabolism. Aim for 0.7 to 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight.
Eat fewer calories: You can’t out-train a bad diet. Track your intake and stay in a slight caloric deficit to lose fat without starving yourself.
Focus on whole foods: Lean meats, eggs, Greek yogurt, vegetables, and quality carbohydrates will keep your energy high and cravings low.
The takeaway: Protein helps maintain muscle while caloric control leads to fat loss. Stick to both for a lean summer physique.
3. Increase Water Intake
Your body is 70 percent water, so if you’re dehydrated, your body isn’t running at full capacity.
Drink at least half your body weight in ounces of water daily (for example, if you weigh 150 pounds, aim for 75 ounces of water).
Hydration improves digestion, energy, and skin clarity, which leads to a leaner, healthier, and more vibrant summer body.
Ditch sugary drinks and sodas. Water and electrolyte-rich drinks are your best bet.
The takeaway: Stay hydrated to feel better, perform better, and recover faster.
4. Increase Sleep Performance
Fat loss, muscle growth, and recovery all happen while you sleep. Yet, most people ignore this crucial factor when trying to get summer-ready.
Dark Room = Better Sleep: Block out light and keep your room cool.
Reduce Screen Time: Blue light from phones and TVs disrupts melatonin, making sleep quality worse.
Stop Eating Two Hours Before Bed: Late-night eating can spike blood sugar and disrupt natural sleep cycles.
The takeaway: Sleep better to recover faster, burn more fat, and perform at your peak.
