Staying Active During the Summer
Posted in dieting, weight loss on July 21st, 2009 by Steve – 2 CommentsStaying Active During the Summer
A National Institute of Health (NIH) study found that its subjects tended to gain more weight during the holidays because they had less energy and activity levels. Increasing your activity during the cold winter months will go far in preventing that extra pound of weight gain.
Of course, this is also true during the summer, when there are fewer excuses to exercise. It is harder to get out of the house and exercise when the weather is bad. Good weather naturally motivates us to take long walks and bike rides, to go swimming, and to participate in sports.
Make sure, though, that you drink plenty of water, since the heat tends to cause dehydration. Most experts recommend eight 8-ounce glasses of water a day. It is important to get out there because the NIH researchers found that most people do not tend to lose that extra pound later on in the year.
