2. Get Out and Move- Make It Fun!
Just because it’ s hot outside doesn’ t mean you should be a couch potato! It just means you might need to get a little creative.
Take a walk early in the morning before it gets too hot. Go for a refreshing swim or splash around in the pool. Hike in the shade. Do a strength training workout indoors. Dance in your kitchen. Do a few stretches while watching TV. Or make a habit of going for a short walk after dinner.
When you’ re traveling, look for natural ways to move: walk on the beach, rent a bike, paddleboard, or play with your kids or grandkids in the ocean or pool.
Movement isn’ t a punishment. It’ s a gift to your body. It boosts your mood, supports your metabolism, and improves digestion and even hormone balance.
Midlife bodies especially benefit from regular exercise to feel strong and energized. The trick is to choose something you actually enjoy so it becomes something you look forward to, not a chore.
3. Follow the 80 / 20 Rule
You don’ t need to eat“ perfectly” to be healthy. Trying to be 100 percent“ clean” all the time just sets you up for feeling guilty and beating yourself up when you can’ t stick to it.
