�we wear in the summer practically forces us to think about how fit we are (or aren't). Many people have a tendency to drop between ten and twenty pounds each summer simply because IT'S SUMMER. The constant reminder of how we look, combined with heightened activity levels, make people conscious of health and fitness on a whole new level. We are frequently reminded of how we look because we're wearing fewer clothes (anyone wear shorts this month?). We're also more active during the summer because of fantastic summer activities like biking, swimming and hiking. While these lifestyle changes lead to serious summer results, we often pay the price each autumn. Activity slows down, the kids go back to school, we're wearing baggy clothes again, and the incentive to stay fit seems to vanish faster than a plate of fudge at the all-you-can-eat buffet. Take heart! No longer are we destined to lose a few pounds every summer, only to gain it back every autumn! We CAN break this vicious cycle, and we can do it NOW! There are three steps we need to take if we are going to maintain that summer shape and stay fit through the fall: 1) Eat like it's still summer. 2) Play like it's still summer. 3) Change our exercise schedule.If we're going to maintain the fitness progress we accomplished over the summer, the first thing we need to do is eat like we did during the summer. That means lots and lots of fresh fruits and vegetables, and an ample supply of water. Because fruits, vegetables and other healthy foods are so abundant during the summer, we naturally 'eat healthier' during this season. While our gardens may be slowing down some in the autumn, we can still find everything we need at the grocery store or the local farmers market.
