Getting prepped for December

With December fast approaching, summer is well and truly on the horizon. It’s the time of the year when endorphins are sky high and we’re all keen to look and feel our best. So what do you need to keep in mind as you get ready to get your December sweat on?

Invest in new gym gear

In need of new footwear? Lacking a gym bag? Now’s the perfect time to stock up on gym equipment before the December swing. Get in early, snare a good deal and feel good in time for the summer season.

Switch up what you eat

Now’s the time to start eliminating those sugar-laden foods from your diet. Cut out the unhealthy breakfasts, minimize the lunchtime snacks and eat especially clean before bed. Opt for fresh veggies, lean meats and healthy snacks – like nuts.

Start slow

Take your time to get into the swing of things. Rushing will only put your body under strain and cause you to lose more time in recovery.

Switch up your routine

One of the secrets to seeing results in the gym is keeping your body guessing. Settled into a twenty-minute treadmill routine first thing? Ditch it for the rower for two days. When you go back to the treadmill, incorporate sprints on alternate days. By varying your routine, you’re working a much broader range of muscle groups.
