During summers, you may not really feel like going outdoors for a walk, jog or cycling. What you can do instead is aqua aerobics in the pool. Would you believe it that it helps you to shed 800 calories in an hour? What is even better is that you come out not sweating but rather fresh and rejuvenated. Join a yoga or Pilates class for your strength training.

Hydrate yourself enough and cut down on carbs. Instead summer is a time to have fresh, juicy fruits and vegetables. Have bowls full of salads instead of pastas.

Summer is a time to flaunt sexy abs, toned arms and legs, which are covered under layers in winters. So do make sure to work on these areas by doing pushups, squats, lunges, crunches, planks, etc.

If you are necessarily an outdoor kind of person, choose an early morning time and workout where there is lot of greenery around.

Here are some detailed workouts that you can do:

  • DAY 1: Jump Rope. One of the simplest yet most effective workouts. All you need is a jump rope and 500 skips!
  • DAY 2: Yoga and stretch at home These are fairly simple stretches that will help you stretch out perfectly.
  • DAY 3: Go for an outdoor run early in the morning. And while you are at it, don’t forget these stretches.
  • DAY 4: Challenge yourself. Attempt things that you have not attempted ever. Things that you feel are impossible. Take help and support but cross those boundaries. Attempt things like headstand, handstand or acro yoga (partner yoga). You might fail but do try. Remember not to get injured in doing so.
  • DAY 5: Go for a swim or try a class of aqua aerobics
  • DAY 6: Indulge in activities like dance, cycling or any sport that interests you.
  • DAY 7: Rest.

Try this routine for three weeks and don’t forget to mark how your body changes!
